Figure Lengend Snippet: Testicular levels of adiponectin and high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in control rats and those exposed to cadmium (Cd). Control (CT): 0.9% saline; Cd1: 0.67 mg Cd/kg; Cd2: 0.74 mg Cd/kg; Cd3: 0.86 mg Cd/kg; and Cd4: 1.1 mg Cd/kg. Data are expressed as mean and standard deviation (mean ± SD). Statistical difference ( ∗ p < 0.05 versus CT; † p < 0.05 versus CT and Cd1).
Article Snippet: Adiponectin and high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin were measured using commercial kits, according to the manufacturer's instructions (USCN Life Science Inc., Wuhan, China).
Techniques: High Molecular Weight, Control, Saline, Standard Deviation
