PROB + MCT	62.6 ± 4.2 †	59.3 ± 4.0 †	27.3 ± 3.2
LOV	41.2 ± 3.4	37.6 ± 2.6	31.4 ± 3.7
LOV + MCT	24.4 ± 2.4*	42.3 ± 3.7	33.6 ± 4.2

Data are mean ± SEM of 5–6 animals.

Abbreviations: CAT, catalase; GSHPx, glutathione peroxidase; SOD, superoxide dismutase.

^*Significantly different (p < 0.05) from the CONT, PROB, PROB + MCT, and LOV groups.

^† Significantly different (p < 0.05) from the CONT, MCT, LOV, and LOV + MCT groups. All other legends are similar to that in Table 1.
