| Parameters | Mean | SD | Mean | SD |
| Catalase (μmol × mg-1 × min-1) (CAT) | 1.98 | 0.04 | 2.55 | 0.11** |
| NAD(P)H: quinone reductase (nmol × mg-1 × min-1) (NQO1) | 3.87 | 0.27 | 12.43 | 1.40** |
| Superoxide dismutase (nmol × mg-1 × min-1) (SOD) | 12.72 | 1.36 | 13.65 | 0.81 |
| Oxidized glutathione reductase (μmol × mg-1 × min-1) (GSSG-red) | 75.73 | 10.09 | 118.31 | 8.76** |
Values are mean ± standard deviation (SD) of 10 measurements performed on ten rat samples for each studied group. Mean values were significantly different from those of the CTRL group: ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, two-tailed t-test.
