Malondialdehyde levels in the aorta, heart and liver
| Tissues | Control | EVOO | M |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Arterial MDA (mM/mg Protein) |
15.76 ± 1.83 |
22.94 ± 4.58 |
50.46 ± 5.56*,& |
|
Heart MDA (mM/mg Protein) |
3.77 ± 0.34 |
3.83 ± 0.59 |
7.13 ± 0.20*,& |
| Hepatic MDA (mM/mg Protein) | 3.09 ± 0.22 | 3.25 ± 0.34 | 5.62 ± 0.47*,& |
Values are expressed as the means ± SEM (n = 9 per group). MDA malondialdehyde. * P < 0.05, significant difference compared with the control group. & P < 0.05, significant difference between the EVOO and M groups according to one-way ANOVA.
