a Males and females were assigned values of 0 and 1, respectively. The p-values determined by the linear regression were adjusted for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), modified Rankin Scale (mRS), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-6. * p < 0.05.
