Effects of treatment regimens on testicular superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in acrylamide challenged rats
Acrylamide, however, decreased the enzymatic activity by 91% compared to control rats. Co-administration of either TQ or capsaicin to animals that received acrylamide apparently increased SOD activities by 266 and 169%, respectively compared to the group that received acrylamide alone. Besides, there was a significant decrease in SOD activity amounted to 27% following the combination regimen of capsaicin and acrylamide compared to TQ and acrylamide group (Table 3) .
