Mean and standard deviation, inter-individual and intra-individual variability. AGEs – advanced glycation end-products, AOPP – advanced oxidation protein products, TAC – total antioxidant capacity, FRAS – ferric reducing ability of saliva, SD – standard deviation, and CV – coefficient of variation.

*P < 0.05.

**P < 0.001 when compared to females.
