Effect of MSTF on the antioxidant status in rat blood (n = 10 rats/group). The measurement of MDA, SOD and GSH was carried out 7 days after the application of SM (mean ± SD).

Groups	MDA (μmol/mL)	SOD (U/mL)	GSH (µmol/mL)
Control	1.81 ± 0.82	6.13 ± 1.89	7.13 ± 1.26
SM	2.25 ± 0.57	6.22 ± 1.78	4.15 ± 0.77 a
SM + MSTF (30 mg/kg)	2.34 ± 0.61	5.33 ± 1.87	3.37 ± 1.52 a
SM + MSTF (60 mg/kg)	2.32 ± 0.54	5.14 ± 1.21	5.23 ± 1.67 b
SM + MSTF (120 mg/kg)	4.85 ± 0.91 a,b	4.1 ± 1.71	6.86 ± 1.41 b

^a p < 0.05 as compared to the control group; ^b p < 0.05 as compared to the SM-only group.
