Evaluation of oxidative stress markers. (A) Bar graph shows the levels of malonyldialdehyde (MDA) in controls and cases at T0 and T1. (B) Bar graph shows the levels of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in controls and cases at T0 and T1. Delta (Δ) values are calculated by subtracting the final value at 3 months from the corresponding initial value at baseline. Values are mean ± S.E.M. for n = 18 subjects/group. *p < 0.05 vs control,**p < 0.01 vs T0; ***p < 0.001 vs T0. Two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s post-hoc test was used for the analysis of differences among the groups; t-test was used for the variation analysis (Δ T1 − T0).
