Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 5).
*p<0.05,
**p<0.01
***p<0.001 denote the statistically significant difference between AQHAR-treated and control groups.
SOD, superoxide dismutase; CAT, catalase; MDA, malondialdehyde; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; TP, total protein; GLU, glucose.
