The activities of liver copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD, U/g tissue), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD, U/g tissue), catalase (CAT, μmol H2O2/min/g tissue), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px, μmol NADPH/min/g tissue), glutathione reductase (GR, nmol NADPH/min/g tissue) and glutathione S-transferase (GST, nmol GSH/min/g tissue), as well as liver concentrations of glutathione (GSH, nmol/g tissue), sulfhydryl groups (SH, nmol/g tissue), and lipid peroxides (TBARS, nmol/g tissue).

Experimental group abbreviations: S sham-operated rat group, S + M sham-operated + meldonium rat group, I/R ischemia/reperfusion rat group, I/R + M ischemia/reperfusion + meldonium rat group. The number of animals per experimental group: n = 8. The data are given as mean ± standard error of the mean. Minimal significant level: p < 0.05. Significantly different: ain respect to S group; bin respect to I/R group.
