Parameter
Groups	GPx (mU/100 mg tissue)	GST (mU/100 mg tissue)	SOD (mU/100 mg tissue)
Normal control	101.91 ± 8.61	105.40 ± 4.72	112.91 ± 1.68
DXR-injected control group	70.10 ± 2.32++	69.03 ± 4.63++	111.29 ± 1.35
DXR-injected group supplemented with rutin	85.28 ± 5.29∗	79.98 ± 5.24$	137.89 ± 2.63∗∗$$
DXR-injected group supplemented with quercetin	75.60 ± 5.30	99.10 ± 14.26∗	126.74 ± 4.77∗∗
DXR-injected group supplemented with rutin and quercetin	79.56 ± 1.51	108.72 ± 6.64∗	123.51 ± 3.35∗∗
F-probability	P < 0.001	P < 0.01	P < 0.001

Values are M ± SE (n = 6). ⁺P < 0.05, ⁺⁺P < 0.01: the DXR-injected control group vs. normal control. ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01: the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin and/or quercetin vs. DXR-injected control group. ^$P < 0.05, ^$$P < 0.01: the DXR-injected groups treated with rutin or quercetin alone vs. DXR-injected group treated with rutin and quercetin mixture.
