Regulation of SuperOxide Dismutase-1 (SOD-1) by long-term algae and aminosulphurate supplementation and SOD-1 activity.
| Group | Median | 25% | 75% |
| SOD-1 activity (control) | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| SOD-1 activity (d0) | 143.5 | 139.500 * | 149 |
| SOD-1 activity (d90) | 121 | 119.000 *,# | 125 |
| SOD-1 Activity | Difference of Ranks | Q | p < 0.05? |
| Control vs. d0 (before treatment) | 34.000 | 6.7 | Yes |
| d0 vs. d90 (after 90 days) | 16.000 | 2.920 | Yes |

* p < 0.05 vs. control, # p < 0.05 d90 vs. d0; control: controls without dental materials and non-supplemented (n = 21); d0: patients with long-term titanium implants and dental amalgam fillings restorations before any nutritional supplementation (d0, n = 16); d90: patients with long-term titanium implants and dental amalgam fillings restorations after 90 days of supplementation (d90, n = 16).
