Values are expressed as mean ± SD of six mice at p < 0.05. Activities of xanthine oxidase (XOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (Px), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) are expressed in µmol/mL EAC cells. The content of glutathione (GSH) and intensity of lipid peroxidation (LPx) are expressed in nmol/mg of protein content in EAC cells

CTRL, untreated control group; G1, G2 and G3, animals pretreated, treated at the time of implantation of EAC cells, or posttreated with DWE, respectively

^* Significantly different from the male control group at p < 0.05. ^** Significantly different from the female control group at p < 0.05
