SD: standard deviation. SiNPs: silica nanoparticles. Mg: magnesium, GSH: glutathione. MDA: malondialdehyde. N: number. *: significant (p ˂ 0.05). **: highly significant (p ≤ 0.001). a: significant in relation to the control group. b: significant in relation to SiNPs group. c: significant in relation to SiNPs + Mg group.
