Means represent 10 cages per treatment and 2 birds per pen.

IL, interleukin; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; CAT, catalase; SOD, superoxide dismutase; GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase; CYP1A1, cytochrome P450 1A1; EH, epoxide hydrolase; GST, glutathione S-transferase; SEM, pooled standard error of the means.

^a–d

Means in a column with different superscripts are significantly different (p<0.05).
