Thiobarbituricacid reactive substances (TBARS) expressed as nM of MDA/mg protein; Catalase expressed as nmoles of H2O2 consumed/min/mg protein; Superoxide dismutase (SOD) expressed as U/mg protein; Glutathione expressed as µg of GSH/mg protein. The results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Probability values of   < 0.0001, aaa < 0.001, aa < 0.01, and a < 0.05 were compared with normal control. Probability values of  bbbb < 0.0001, bbb < 0.001, bb < 0.01, and b < 0.05 were compared with disease control.
