Figure 3From: Faster rates of post-puberty kidney deterioration in males is correlated with elevated oxidative stress in males vs females at early pubertyElevated superoxide anion in males at early puberty compared with females. ROS was examined in the glomeruli of 36 day-old SD and Mhm rats. Superoxide anion was significantly higher in males compared with females. Males had the tendency to produce more total ROS, but the gender difference was not statistically significant.Back to article page
