ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to investigate the redox balance in subcutaneous and retroperitoneal fat pads of male and female Wistar rats. Materials and methods: The study analyzed the activity and gene expression of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, along with the production of NADPH oxidases dependent on H2O2 and gene expression of NOX1, NOX2, and NOX4. Results: The retroperitoneal fat pad in males compared with females had greater NOX2 and NOX4 expression, along with higher […]
