Figure 8.

Effects of capric acid on SOD (a), GPx (b), and MDA (c) levels in the blood serum after the CTX challenge. Miniature pigs were randomly allocated into three groups: (T1) control diet + saline challenge; (T2) control diet + CTX challenge; and (T3) control diet with 0.5% capric acid + CTX challenge. Concentrations of SOD, GPx, and MDA were determined by ELISA (n = 5). Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (n = 3). A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Lowercase letters (a, b, c) indicate significant differences between treatments based on Duncan multiple range tests.
