Lipid peroxidation in the blood plasma and aorta from the SG, SG50, SG150, and SG500 groups.
| Groups | MDA | |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma (nmol/l) | Aorta (μM/g) | |
| SG | 8.4 ± 1.0 | 26 ± 7 |
| SG50 | 8.2 ± 0.7 | 24 ± 2 |
| SG150 | 6.8 ± 0.7∗ | 18 ± 2∗ |
| SG500 | 5.0 ± 0.1∗#† | 10 ± 3∗#† |
The values represent the mean and S.D., respectively (n = 10 indicates the number of samples per treatment). Sedentary saline group (SG) and sedentary groups supplemented with S. platensis at 50 mg/kg (SG50), 150 mg/kg (SG150), and 500 mg/kg (SG500). Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's posttest, ∗p < 0.05 (SG vs. groups), #p < 0.05 (SG50 vs. SG150 and SG500), †p < 0.01 (SG150 vs. SG500).
