The dataset is comprised of multiple data-frames. Our focus is on sex and brain region specific responses to ozone in a rat model. The PCR data describes the gene expression from listed brain regions resulting from ozone exposure. Complex enzymes were also assayed due to their sensitivity to oxidative stress using biochemical colorimetric assays. And finally, we collected data for oxidative stress artifacts such as protein carbonyl productions, total antioxidants, and enzyme activity.
This dataset is associated with the following publication:
