Markers of oxidative stress in retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (RetroP WAT) and perirenal (PR) WAT for age-matched rats that did not reproduce (NR), and rats that did not (NL) or did (L) suckle their young. Data include RetroP WAT and PR WAT protein level of the antioxidants SOD2, SOD1, CAT, and GPX (A–H). In addition, data include lipid peroxidation determined by 4-HNE in RetroP and PR WAT. Representative blots are shown under the graphs. Images are shown as captured, protein expression was normalized to Ponceau staining, and variability between membranes was normalized by using an internal control run with each membrane. Data shown are mean ± SD (n = 6–8 per group). *Different from NR (p < 0.05).
