Data of measurements from five animals are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). a–c Presence of similar superscripts in a column indicates no significant difference (p > 0.05), while different superscripts in a column indicate significant difference (p < 0.05). Please refer to the footnotes of Table 1 for the description of abbreviations. GSH—glutathione; SOD – superoxide dismutase; CAT – catalase; GPx – glutathione peroxidase; MDA – malondialdehyde.
