Coefficient (r) and Significance of the Correlation Between the Tissue and Serum Antioxidant Barrier Parameters

Pearson Correlation	Hepatic TAC	Serum TAC	Hepatic SOD	Serum SOD
Hepatic TAC	1	0.893*	0.688*	0.840*
Serum TAC	0.893*	1	0.547**	0.640*
Hepatic SOD	0.688*	0.547**	1	0.893*
Serum SOD	0.840*	0.640*	0.893*	1

Notes: Displayed are the correlation coefficients (r) between different parameters within serum and liver. **p<0.01 and *p <0.001.

Abbreviations: TAC, total antioxidant capacity; SOD, superoxide dismutase.
