TBARS | 0.632 ± 0.03a | 1.098 ± 0.03d | 0.897 ± 0.03c | 0.821 ± 0.02b |
SOD | 11.236 ± 0.29c | 7.880 ± 0.45a | 9.805 ± 0.41b | 10.579 ± 0.37c |
CAT | 7.040 ± 0.38c | 3.419 ± 0.24a | 5.562 ± 0.67b | 6.399 ± 0.47c |

Values are mean ± standard error of the mean for six rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript differ significantly from each other (p < 0.05, Duncan's multiple range test). Values expressed as mmol/100 g wet tissue weight for TBARS; U/mg protein for SOD; μmol hydrogen peroxide consumed/min/mg protein for CAT; and mmol/g wet tissue weight for GSH. BT = Bio-tea; CAT = catalase; GSH = reduced glutathione; ISO = Isoproterenol;SOD = superoxide dismutase; TBARS = thiobarbituric acid reactive substances.
