FIGURE 7.

Corr-plot representing the Pearson’s correlation analysis between the oxidative stress markers and oxidative defence molecules (enzymatic andnon-enzymatic). Here, the size of the circles is proportional to the absolute value of correlation coefficients, whereas their colour represents the value in positive or negative correlation region as represented in the right bar of varying colour intensities from intense blue to intense red, ranging from +1 to −1, respectively. Sup, superoxide anion; H₂O₂,hydrogen peroxide; MDA, malondialdehyde; SOD, superoxide dismutase; POD, guaiacol peroxidase; CAT, catalase; GR, glutathione reductase; APX/APOX, ascorbate peroxidase; DHAR, dehydroascorbate reductase; GPOX, glutathione peroxidase; GST, glutathione-S-transferase; Glu, glutathione; and Asc, ascorbic acid.
