TBARS (A)	1.69 ± 0.11	2.20 ± 0.22 (a)	1.67 ± 0.08 (b)	1.52 ± 0.13
CD (A233/A215)	0.62 ± 0.06	0.92 ± 0.07 (a)	0.66 ± 0.05 (b)	0.60 ± 0.03
Protein carbonyl groups (A)	0.24 ± 0.02	0.31 ± 0.02 (a)	0.25 ± 0.03 (b)	0.22 ± 0.14

Values are means ± SD of 6 rats from each group. CON—control rats; FRU-fructose-fed rats; FRU + CAR—fructose fed rats treated with carnitine; CON + CAR—control rats treated with carnitine. ^(A) μmol/mg protein; ^(B) μmol quinine sulphate equivalents/g tissue.

^(a)Significant as compared to CON (P < .05; ANOVA followed by DMRT).

^(b)Significant as compared to FRU (P < .05; ANOVA followed by DMRT).
