Data are expressed as the mean of three replicates in triplicate. CON: control without antioxidant; RWE50: 50 mg GAE/kg muscle; RWE100: 100 mg GAE/kg muscle; RWE200: 200 mg GAE/kg muscle; TOC: 100 mg α-tocopherol/kg muscle; RWE: red wine extract; GAE: gallic acid equivalents; SEM: standard error of the mean. Significance: ns: p > 0.05; *: p ≤ 0.05; ***: p ≤ 0.001. ^a,b,c,d Different superscript letters within the same column indicate significant difference (p ≤ 0.05). ^w,x,y Different superscript letters within the same row indicate significant difference (p ≤ 0.05).
