1Results are presented as mean and SEM. Labeled means in a row without a common superscript letter differ, P < 0.05. GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase; CAT, catalase; T-AOC, total antioxidant capacity; SOD, superoxide dismutase; MDA, malondialdehyde; CON, piglets fed a basal diet; Diquat, piglets fed the basal diet and challenged by diquat; DCGA, piglets fed the basal diet containing CGA (1,000 mg/kg) and challenged by diquat.
