A10 cells were treated with 2 mmol/l of H₂O₂ for 2 h. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lipid peroxidation were tested to reflect the level of oxidative stress. Overexpression of HSP27 significantly increased SOD activity (a) and decreased the malondialdehyde level (b) in A10 cells infected with LVUT^Hspb1 compared with A10 cells infected with LVUT^EGFP. These two indexes showed no significant difference between non-infected controls and LVUT^EGFP (n = 3)
