+Data are presented as median value and interquartile ranges (1Q–3Q). ++Data are presented as mean value and standard deviation (SD). ∗Statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). TOC: total oxidant capacity; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; ox-LDL: oxidized low-density lipoprotein; OSI: oxidative stress index; CRP: C-reactive protein.
