Mean ± SEM of the glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the tissue homogenates of day-10 dermal wounds of the control, Intrasite gel-treated, chlorine dioxide gel-treated, and Aftamed gel-treated diabetic rats.

	No. of animals	Control	Intrasite gel	Chlorine dioxide gel	Aftamed gel
GPx (μ/g protein)	6	12.54 ± 0.25a	35.17 ± 0.58	24.38 ± 0.32a	31.83 ± 1.68a
SOD (u/mg protein)	6	19.41 ± 0.42b	51.23 ± 0.35b	32.67 ± 0.49b	49.73 ± 0.44b
MDA (nmol/g protein	6	92.94 ± 0.27c	13.00 ± 0.26c	22.50 ± 0.48c	14.50 ± 0.48c

All values are expressed as the mean + SEM. Means labeled with different superscripts were significantly different. These differences were significant at the 0.05 level.
