Groups were treated as described in the Materials and Methods section. Values are represented as mean ± standard deviation from six rats in each group and values not indicated a common superscript letter (a–i) differ significantly at P < 0.05. Experimental values are expressed as follows: Lipid peroxidation, TBARS formed min−1 mg of protein−1; SOD (Superoxide dismutase), units/mg of protein; GST (Glutathione-S-transferase), μM of 1-Chloro- 2, 4-dinitrobenzene utilized min−1 mg of protein−1; CAT (Catalase), μM H2O2 utilized min−1 mg of protein−1.
