| aData are represented as the means ± SD; n = 10. Statistical differences between contaminated and reference groups were made at 0.05 confidence level. Statistical
significance of the results is indicated as *, p<0.05; **, p<0.01. Enzymatic activity units are bμmol/min/mg protein for SOD, cμmol H2O2 consumed/min/mg protein for
CAT, dμmol NADPH/min/mg protein for GPx, and e nmol TBARS/mg protein for MDA level.f For the oxidative stress biomarkers, the value measured in samples from the
contaminated site is given as the % of the reference value when a significant difference was observed. N.A., not applicable. |
