Comparison of taurine, GABA, Glu, and Asp as scavengers of malondialdehyde in vitro and in vivo

Table 2 Test result of MDA content of the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and serum of every group $(\bar{x} \pm s, n = 7)$

Group	Hippocampus (nmol/mg protein)	Cerebral cortex (nmol/mg protein)	Serum (nmol/mL)
Control + NS	14.20 ± 4.54*	14.87 ± 2.64*	10.00 ± 5.19
AEP + NS	23.98 ± 4.90	25.40 ± 3.37	13.00 ± 1.92
Taurine + AEP	18.46 ± 2.27	14.55 ± 3.61*	9.55 ± 2.04
GABA + AEP	17.45 ± 1.81*	15.72 ± 7.38*	10.12 ± 2.12

Data were shown as mean ± S.E.M. Statistical evaluation was carried out by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Scheffe's multiple range tests: *P < 0.05, AEP + NS versus control + NS, taurine + AEP, or GABA + AEP.
