Results are expressed as mean ± standard error of mean. *p is significant when compared with control using Student‘t’ test. ≠p is significant using ANOVA. Abbreviations: SOD-superoxide dismutase; CAT- catalase; Gln-Per- glutathione peroxidase; Gln Red- glutathione reductase; GST- glutathione S transferase. |
