|---|---|---|---|---|
| GSH (μmol/g tissue) | 1.49 ± 0.07 | 1.67 ± 0.03 | 0.51 ± 0.04 *** | 1.29 ± 0.34 ### |
| SOD (U/g tissue) | 158 ± 9.20 | 183 ± 6.30 ** | 75 ± 5.50 *** | 124 ± 5.40 ***, ### |
| MDA (nmol/g tissue) | 7.4 ± 0.51 | 6.7 ± 0.42 | 21.4 ± 0.58 *** | 13.4 ± 0.46 ***, ### |
| CAT (U/g tissue) | 2.7 ± 0.27 | 3.3 ± 0.20 ** | 1.2 ± 0.15 *** | 1.9 ± 0.16 ***, ## |
All the above table data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6 rats). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test was used for analysis of these data. *** p < 0.001 and ** p < 0.01 significant vs. control group, ### p < 0.001 and ## p < 0.01 significant vs. DOX group.
