Groups	MDA (nmole/mg protein)	Inhibition rate (%)
Saline	0.046 ± 0.01	—
95% Ethanol (0.1 mL)	0.095 ± 0.01*	—
95% Ethanol (0.1 mL)+GL (10 mg/kg)	0.058 ± 0.03	38.9
95% Ethanol (0.1 mL)+GL (25 mg/kg)	0.048 ± 0.02	49.5
95% Ethanol(0.1 mL)+GL(50 mg/kg)	0.045 ± 0.01*	52.6

Data source: (Shieh et al., 2001) Each number indicates mean ± S.E., (n = 10). *p < .05, notably distinct from the standard control group. *p < .05, notably distinct from the ethanol group. Analysis of variance with Dunnett’s test. p-values below .05 were considered significant.
