The cardioprotective effects of SH on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GRx) in the heart tissues of experimental animals.

Parameters	Treatment				Percentage change
	Sham	SH + sham	SH + ISO	ISO	SH + sham	SH + ISO	ISO
SOD (units/mg of protein)	1.71 ± 0.14	1.41 ± 0.00	0.92 ± 0.01	0.02 ± 0.00	−17.54%	−46.19%	−98.83%
GPx (nmol NADPH oxidized/min/mg of protein)	3.18 ± 0.00	2.59 ± 0.73	2.31 ± 0.06	1.02 ± 0.10	−18.55%	−27.36%	−67.92%
GRx (nmol NADPH oxidized/min/mg of protein)	97.91 ± 1.71	99.79 ± 3.83	97.53 ± 0.00	81.69 ± 1.56	1.92%	−0.39%	−16.57%

Results are expressed as the mean ± SD, . Values in the same row not sharing a common superscript (a and b) differ significantly with each other at . Percentage change is calculated as 100 × [(value of treatment − value of sham)/value of sham].
