Figure Lengend Snippet: GnRH ( A ), Na+/K + ATPase ( B ), PGE-2 ( C ), and COX-2 concentrations in the brains of Male and Female Wistar rats exposed to corn oil (control), low dose (6.25 mg/kg), and high dose (12.5 mg/kg) of cypermethrin, respectively. Asterisk (*) indicates significant ( P < 0.05) weight loss. Bars are mean ± SD

Article Snippet: The following kits were used: GnRH (Sandwich ELISA, Kit #MBS269200, MyBioSource), Na+/K+-ATPase (Colorimetric, Kit #E-BC-K022-M, Elabscience), PGE2 (EIA Kit #ADI-900-001, Enzo Life Sciences), COX-2 (ELISA, Kit #MBS7254655, MyBioSource).

Article Title: Impacts of commercial bile acids on growth performance, immune responses and expression genes of lipid metabolism in Nile tilapia fingerlings Oreochromis niloticus

doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-06813-0

Figure Lengend Snippet: Antioxidant parameters in Nile tilapia ( O. niloticus ) fingerlings fed diets supplemented with graded levels of commercial bile acids (BAs). Bars represent the mean ( n = 9) ± standard error (SE) for Catalase activity (CAT; µmol/min/mg protein/ml), Superoxide Dismutase activity (SOD; U/min/mg protein/ml), Malondialdehyde level (MDA; nmol µM/mg protein/ml), and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC; mML −1 /ml). Within each measured parameter, bars topped with different letters indicate statistically significant differences between dietary groups ( P ≤ 0.05).

Article Snippet: Antioxidant activity was measured using diagnostic kits “MyBioSource Inc., USA”: Superoxide Dismutase activity; SOD activity , catalase; CAT , Malondialdehyde level; MDA , and Total antioxidant Capacity; TAC .

Article Title: Identification and transcriptomic profiling of salinity stress response genes in colored wheat mutant

doi: 10.7717/peerj.17043

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Catalase (CAT) activity, (B) peroxidase (POD) activity, (C) total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and (D) total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Each bar represents the average ±standard error ( n = 3). Independent t-tests demonstrated significant differences (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01) compared to the control condition (0h).

Article Snippet: Specifically, CAT activity was determined using a catalase microplate assay kit (kit number: MBS8243260; MyBiosource, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), POD activity was measured using a POD assay kit (kit number: KTB1150; Abbkine, Inc., Wuhan, China), and SOD activity was estimated using a total SOD activity assay kit (WST-1 method) (kit number: MBS2540402; MyBiosource, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA).

Techniques: Activity Assay, Control
