Data are reported as mean ± SEM (n = 6) and assessed by one way ANOVA followed by Duncan Multiple Comparison post hoc test. Results are presented as mmol NPSH (non-protein thiol)/mg protein and units of catalase (CAT)/mg protein. (*) and (**) denotes p < 0.05 and p < 0.001, respectively, as compared to the respective control samples. (#), (##) and (###) denotes p < 0.05, p < 0.001 and p < 0.0001, respectively, as compared to the respective induced samples.
