Enzymic antioxidant levels in normal, diabetic, and diabetic rats treated with SETc after 30 days treatment.
n = 6; p<0.05 is considered as statistically significant. Values are expressed as mean±S.E.M. using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison method. Units are expressed as: Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): Unit/min/mg protein; Catalase (CAT): nmoles of H2O2 consumed/min/mg protein at 37o C.
a = normal control Vs diabetic control, test drug and standard; b=diabetic control Vs test drug and standard; c = test drug Vs standard. *= p<0.001; @ = p<0.01; # = p<0.05; ns=non significant.
Figure 4. Non-enzymic antioxidant levels in normal, diabetic, and diabetic rats treated with SETc after 30 days treatment. n=6; Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison method.
Units are expressed as: Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): µg/mg protein; Vitamin E (α- Tocopherol): mg/gm tissue.
a = normal control Vs diabetic control, test drug and standard; b = diabetic control Vs test drug and standard; c = test drug Vs standard. *= p<0.001; @ = p<0.01; # = p<0.05; ns = non significant.
