Data are expressed as mean ± SEM with significant levels of ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗p < 0.05, and NS are nonsignificant compared to the normal control group. POD, GSH, CAT, SOD, and TBARS represent peroxidases, glutathione, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, respectively.
