Effects of caffeic acid against atherogenic diet- (Ath-) induced alteration(s) in oxidative stress markers.
| Group | MDA (μmol/ml) | GSH (nmol/ml) |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 0.499 ± 0.003 | 0.468 ± 0.024 |
| Ath control | 0.859 ± 0.004a | 0.133 ± 0.017a |
| Ath + CA (25 mg/kg) | 0.738 ± 0.012z | 0.229 ± 0.013y |
| Ath + CA (50 mg/kg) | 0.62 ± 0.006z | 0.387 ± 0.042z |
| Control + CA (50 mg/kg) | 0.503 ± 0.0004 | 0.438 ± 0.02 |
| Ath + ATORVA (5) | 0.515 ± 0.002z | 0.433 ± 0.004z |
Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. ap < 0.001vs. the control group, yp < 0.01, zp < 0.001vs. the Ath control group. Data are analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's HSD post hoc test. MDA : malondialdehyde, GSH : glutathione.
