The results are presented by mean values and SEM (n = 8). CON, meat samples in the control treatment; T-PSE, PSE-like meat samples in the transport treatment; T-NOR, normal meat samples in the transport treatment.

Means within a row with different superscript lowercase letters differ significantly (P < 0.05).

ROS, reactive oxygen species; MDA, malondialdehyde; GSH, glutathione; GSH-Px, glutathione peroxidase; T-SOD, total superoxide dismutase; Cu-ZnSOD, Copper-Zinc superoxide dismutase; MnSOD, Manganese superoxide dismutase; GR, glutathione reductase.
