Positive control: ascorbic acid (10 μM) and hydrogen peroxide (25 μM) in TAC and TOS analysis, respectively. Negative control: whole blood without terpinolene. Each value represents mean ± SD of five experiments; means in the table followed by different letters present significant differences at the p < 0.05 level
