In PBS-perfused kidneys, the elevation of superoxide anion in males was statistically significant. This statistical significance diminished when kidneys were flushed with heparin. Also the elevation of total ROS in males attenuated (the ratio of male vs. female became smaller). B: Real-time PCR confirmed significant under-expression of Sod3 in males compared with females (p < 0.01)
