Group | SOD (U/mg of protein) | MDA (nmol/g of protein) | NO (μmol/mg of protein) |
Normal | 60.93 ± 5.23a | 5.36 ± 0.23a | 414.64 ± 11.59a |
AOM alone | 43.43 ± 2.96 | 18.01 ± 1.43 | 798.46 ± 30.45 |
AOM + 10% (w/w) of brewers’ rice | 43.85 ± 6.32 | 17.34 ± 3.16 | 622.70 ± 15.62a |
AOM + 20% (w/w) of brewers’ rice | 61.71 ± 2.36a | 14.24 ± 0.58a | 533.40 ± 40.43a |
AOM + 40% (w/w) of brewers’ rice | 61.29 ± 4.32a | 8.14 ± 1.42a | 619.35 ± 15.04a |
Each value expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). aP < 0.05 vs AOM alone, Tukey’s test. MDA: Malondialdehyde; NO: Nitric oxide; SOD: Superoxide dismutase.
