| 6- Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) | 0,0080 ± 0,0007 | 0,0079 ± 0,0009 | 0,0077 ± 0,0012 | 0,0089 ± 0,0011 |
| Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) | 1083 ± 0,1038 | 1140 ± 0,0290 | 1130 ± 0,1594 | 1307 ± 0,2184 |
| Glutathione reductase (GR) | 0,2082 ± 0,0232 | 0,2251 ± 0,0259 | 0,2219 ± 0,0112 | 0,2448 ± 0,0356a |
All results were given as mean ± SD of n = 6 animals.
