Oxidative stress parameters of the patients after treatment.
| Parameter | Control group | Add-on group |
|---|---|---|
| U-8-OHdG (ng/mg creatinine) | 1.47±0.21 | −2.89±0.37a |
| MDA (nmmol/ml) | 1.06±0.20 | −2.68±0.45a |
| SOD (U/ml) | −5.53±0.84 | 19.13±4.01a |
| GSH-Px (U/l) | −7.80±1.02 | 35.17±6.41a |
| T-AOC (U/ml) | −0.26±0.04 | 0.38±0.06a |
Changes from the baseline to the end of the study are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation.
