Table 3. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), catalase, glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats experimentally induced with atherosclerosis and treated with stem cells or resveratrol.
| Groups | GSH (mg/g tissue) | MDA (nmol/g tissue) | TAC (mM/L) | Catalase (U/g tissue) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 68.28±7.54 | 25.98±3.48 | 3.1±2.55 | 6.23±0.43 |
| Atherosclerotic | 37.53±2.95a | 68.24±8.38a | 1.45±0.13a | 2.3±0.27a |
| Stem cells-treated | 59.09±5.72b | 32.96±2.81b | 2.8±0.31b | 5.55±0.47b |
| Resveratrol-treated | 40.2±5.31a,b | 43.57±3.68a,b | 1.6±0.18a,b | 3.15±0.26a,b |
Data are reported as means±SE. aP<0.05 compared to control group; bP<0.05 compared to atherosclerotic group (ANOVA).
