From: Effects of calcitriol on random skin flap survival in rats
Calcitriol attenuates oxidative stress in skin flaps.
(a) The levels of superoxide dismutase activity were 52.00 ± 9.76 U.mg−1protein−1 in the calcitriol group and 34.50 ± 6.44 U.mg−1protein−1 in the control. (b) Treatment with calcitriol resulted in a malondialdehyde content of 46.12 ± 8.33 nmol.mg−1protein−1 in the calcitriol group and 60.67 ± 2.88 nmol.mg−1protein−1 in the control group. Values are expressed as means ± SEMs, n = 6 per group. **p < 0.01, vs. control group.
