Figure 1

Female mice plasmatic oxidative balance parameters (n = 23), measured before (white bars) and 18 days after reproduction (grey bars). Data are presented for female mice that succeeded to reproduce (N = 18; right-hand side of figure) and those that did not (N = 5; left-hand side of figure) (see Methods for details). (a) Mean ± SE oxidative damage (d-ROMs) increased only in successful females. (b) Mean ± SE plasmatic antioxidant barrier (OXY) as a global marker of antioxidant defences, rises similarly throughout the study in both groups (see text for statistics).
