Effects of gender and exhaustive exercise on the levels of T, CORT, BUN, MDA, GSH, GSSG, CK and LDH in male and female rats. The data were analyzed by a two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Bonferroni test and statistical significance was set at a p<0.05. Values are shown as mean ± SD (n=10). * p<0.05: significant change compared with the control group in male or female rats. # p<0.05: significant change compared with the exhaustive exercise group in male or female rats. § p<0.05: significant change between male and female rats from control, exhaustive exercise and recovery group. S-d10: 10-day swimming (exhaustive exercise group); R-d7: 7 days recovery.
