Values represent the mean ± SE (n=8). High-fat diet (HFD) control mice were compared with regular diet (RD) control mice. Experimental groups were compared with the
high-fat diet control mice.
· Activity of SOD is expressed as 50% of inhibition of epinephrine autooxidation per min.
*Significantly different from control group at p< 0.05.
**Significantly different from control group at p< 0.01.
