Serum TAS, TOS, and OSI levels of the groups, mean ± SD (median)

Parameter	Group (n = 8)
	C	S	I/R	I/R + S	P-value
TAS [mmol/l]	1.9 ±0.2 (1.88)	2.3 ±0.32 (2.3)	2.1 ±0.41 (2.1)	2.8 ±0.33 (2.82)	0.001
TOS [mmol/l]	21.4 ±6.3 (21.5)	18.2 ±5.1 (18.3)	96.8 ±28.74 (98.9)	25.6 ±6.55 (25.2)	0.002
OSI [arbitrary units]	11.2 ±3.6 (11.2)	7.9 ±2.8 (7.9)	46.1 ±15.26 (46.8)	9.1 ±3.2 (8.7)	0.001

SD – standard deviation, C – control, S – sesamin, I/R – ischemia/reperfusion, I/R + S – ischemia reperfusion + sesamin, TAS – total antioxidant status, TOS – total oxidative status, OSI – oxidative stress index, P-values indicate the differences between the groups (Kruskal-Wallis test)

¹I/R < S, I/R + S

²S > C

³I/R + S > C,S, I/R

⁴I/R > C, S, I/R + S

⁵I/R + S > S

⁶I/R > C, S, I/R + S (Mann-Whitney U test, p < 0.005).
