| NT/TT; % | 91.8 ± 3.14 | 92.16 ± 2.82 | 0.444 |
NT: Native thiol; TT: Total thiol; SS: Disulfide; SS/NT: Disulfide/Native thiol; SS/TT: Disulfide/Total thiol; NT/TT: Native thiol/Total thiol. Values were given as mean ± SD, number (%) or median (IQR). P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The significantly P values were marked as bold.
