Correlative interrelations between the oxygen consumption rate, body temperature and activities of the key antioxidant enzymes of liver of Mus musculus

Using one-, two-, and three-dimensional statistical methods, there were analyzed peculiarities of distribution and the degree of the correlative-regressional dependence between the parameters characterizing the oxygen consumption rate (V _O2), body temperature (BT), activities of three key enzymes of the antioxidant system - superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CL), and glutathion peroxidase (GP) in 15 females of the laboratory population of Mus musculus. The performed studies have shown that the three-dimensional non-linear models better correspond to the actual data and clearly demonstrate specificity of the antioxidant enzymes, as regulatory targets. Changes of the SOD and CL activities depend mainly on V _O2, whereas GP can be the target equally accessible for the regulatory factors of oxidative processes and thermoregulation.
