Malondialdehyde content and circadian variations in brain, kidney, liver, and plasma of mice.

Abstract excerpt

In aerobic organisms, the use of oxygen (O(2)) to produce energy is associated with the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which reacts with biological molecules to produce oxidized metabolites such as malondialdehyde (MDA). This experiment focused on male Swiss mice 12 weeks of age synchronized for 3 weeks by the 12 h light (rest)/12 h dark (activity) span. Different and comparable groups of animals...
