Finally, GPx1 levels exhibited a significant rebound from the decrease induced by AOM in G2 (300 pg ± 17.32 SEM) to 573.3 pg ± 27.28 SEM in G3 and 756.7 pg ± 23.33 SEM in G4, both improvements over the baseline level of 835 pg ± 28.43 SEM seen in the untreated G1 group (Figure 5D). The gene discussed is GPX1; the disease is infectious otitis media.
