SHR: spontaneously hypertensive rats that received vehicle or thyme extract; W: Wistar rats that received vehicle or thyme extract; MAP: mean arterial pressure; TPVR: total peripheral vascular resistance; L-TBARS, p-TBARS, and k-TBARS: liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, and kidney thiobarbituric acid reactive substance; BIL-D: direct bilirubin; e-CAT and k-CAT: erythrocyte catalase and kidney catalase; k-SOD: kidney superoxide dismutase; k-GPx: kidney glutathione peroxidase. Marked correlations are significant at p < 0.050.
