MDA = malondialdehyde; ASA = anti-superoxide anion; AHR = anti-hydroxyl radical; CAT = catalase; T-SOD = total superoxide dismutase; T-AOC = total antioxidant capacity; GSH = glutathione content; GPx = glutathione peroxidase; GST = glutathione S-transferase.
a, b Values are shown as means ± SEM. Within a row, means with different superscript letters are significantly different (P < 0.05).
