%A: percentage of changes from the control induced by GENT administration; %B: percentage of changes from the GENT caused by propolis administration: %C: percentage of changes from the GENT caused by honey administration; %D: percentage of changes from the GENT caused by propolis+honey administration. ap < 0.05: statistically significant as compared to the effect GENT on kidney oxidative parameters; bp < 0.05: statistically significant as compared to the effect GENT+PR on kidney oxidative parameters; cp < 0.05: statistically significant as compared to the effect GENT+H on kidney oxidative parameters; dp < 0.05: statistically significant as compared to the effect GENT+PR+H on kidney oxidative parameters.
