The data were analysed using one way ANOVA, two way ANOVA and independent t test wherever applicable. Superscripts A, B and C shows differences in columns and a, b, c, d in rows. Mean bearing at least one common superscript didn’t show any difference. FD = effect within days (D), FG = effect within groups (G), FDG = interaction within days and groups *<0.05, **<0.01. CAT (103/U)—Catalase, SOD-Superoxide Dismutase, LPO-lipid peroxidation (nM of MDA/g of tissue).
