Figure 7: Creatine kinase and testosterone concentrations of rats treated with lead and recombinant L. lactis strains.

From: Prevention of gastrointestinal lead poisoning using recombinant Lactococcus lactis expressing human metallothionein-I fusion protein

Figure 7

The concentrations of creatine kinase and testosterone are expressed as the means ± S.E.s. Control: rats without treatment; model: 5 mg/kg/d lead-treated rats; pGS/MG1363: lead-treated rats administered 1 × 1010 CFU/d; and pGSMT/MG1363-L, pGSMT/MG1363-M, and pGSMT/MG1363-H: lead-treated rats administered 1 × 108, 1 × 109, and 1 × 1010CFU/d, respectively. n = 9. The asterisks, ** and ***, indicate significant differences at p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively.
