1GOT: glutamyl oxaloacetic transaminase, 2GPT: glutamic-pyruvate transaminase, 3BUN: blood urea nitrogen, 4TG: triglyceride, 5T-Cho: total cholesterol, 6CORT (%): relative value of cortisol, 7d-ROMs: reactive oxygen metabolites, and 8BAP: biological antioxidant potential.
*Values are means of triplicate groups ± S.E.M. Within a row, means with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05); means with the same letters are not significantly different (P > 0.05). Absence of letters indicates no significant difference between treatments.
