Cyp induction and antioxidant effect of SE. Mice received SE or vehicle (saline) by oral gavage once daily for a week. Twenty-four hours after final pretreatment, the livers were harvested at necropsy. Panels a and b indicate Cyp1a2 and Cyp2e1 mRNA levels, respectively. Panel d indicates hepatic antioxidant capacity. Data are plotted as mean ± SD of groups of six mice each. Single asterisk indicates p < 0.05, and double asterisk indicates p < 0.01 versus control group. Data in c indicate hepatic Cyp2e1 protein levels. As internal control, we measured β-actin
