Mean ± SEM Total protein content and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance activity in plasma of control subjects, non supplemental and supplemental athletes
| Group | Total protein (g/dl) | TBARS (nM/mg protein) |
|---|---|---|
| NA control (n = 57) | 6.74 ± 0.22 | 1.79E-08 ± 5.22E-09c* |
| NSA control (n = 40) | 7.41 ± 0.54 | 6.35E-08 ± 3.24E-09a* |
| SA-I (n = 28) | 7.87 ± 0.22 | 3.84E-08 ± 3.36E-09b* |
| SA-II (n = 25) | 7.47 ± 0.19 | 4.28E-08 ± 5.26E-09b* |
Values are expressed as Mean ± SEM. Different alphabets (a, b, c) show that the values are different while similar ones demonstrate values producing similar result
* = p < 0.05, ** = p < 0.001, *** = p < 0.000
aValue vs NA control, bValue vs NSA control, cValue vs SA-1
