| Group | Treatment | DCF fluorescence intensity for intracellular ROS (RFU/protein-normalized) | SOD (U/mg protein) | CAT (U/mg protein) | GPx (U/mg protein) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | Control | 102 ± 5 | 52.4 ± 2.3 | 46.1 ± 2.1 | 39.5 ± 1.9 |
| G2 | LPS (Inflammatory Control) | 248 ± 8 | 24.8 ± 1.7 | 21.3 ± 1.6 | 19.7 ± 1.5 |
| G3 | LPS + PME (25%) | 198 ± 7 | 31.6 ± 1.9 | 28.4 ± 1.8 | 26.9 ± 1.7 |
| G4 | LPS + PME (50%) | 162 ± 6 | 38.7 ± 2.0 | 35.6 ± 1.9 | 33.1 ± 1.8 |
| G5 | LPS + PME (75%) | 128 ± 5 | 45.2 ± 2.2 | 41.3 ± 2.0 | 37.6 ± 1.9 |
| G6 | LPS + Mixed PME Consortium | 116 ± 4 | 48.6 ± 2.1 | 43.9 ± 2.1 | 38.8 ± 1.8 |
Values represent mean ± SD from three independent biological replicates. Significant differences among groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc correction (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. G2).
