A. 2-way Repeated Measure ANOVA of effects of group (2 levels: BDE and CONT) and peripheral measures of lipid peroxidation (2 levels: b asal LPH and 4-HNE)
FACTORS$	F[1,39]	Sig.
GROUP	4.6	0.037
PERIPHERAL MEASURE of lipid oxidative stress#	0.2	0.652
GROUP* PERIPHERAL MEASURE of lipid oxidative stress #	6	0.018

B. Post hoc analysis of between group (BDE and CONT) differences in peripheral measures of lipid peroxidation (LPH and 4-HNE)
PERIPHERAL MEASURE of lipid oxidative stress	GROUP	N	MEAN $	SD$	t [40]	Sig
LPH	BDE	24	17.3	5.2	2.4#	0.022
	CONT	18	14.3	3.1
4HNE	BDE	24	2.5	0.5	−1.1	0.300
	CONT	18	2.7	0.6

There was no effect of age (F_[38]=1.8; p=0.192) or gender (F_[38]=1.4; p=0.250) in the comparison of peripheral markers between BDE and CONT, therefore these factors were not entered in the model

^$Given the different unit between LPH and 4-HNE, the three peripheral markers were centered on the mean (data range between −1 and +1) before being entered in the model.

^#Mauchly's test of non-sphericity was significant, as such Greenhouse-Geisser corrections were used, corrected degrees of freedom=(2, 68).

^#Equal variances not assumed (Levene's test)

^$Original (not centered on the mean) descriptives of peripheral markers are reported.
