MDA level in LS obtained from the control, SMV-, MS- and SMV-MS-administered rats incubated without an oxidation inductor (LPO spontaneous) or with different exogenously added concentrations of Fe_exg30𝜇M or V_{exg100,200,400𝜇M} (a) or Mg_{exg100,200,400𝜇M} (b) as FeSO₄, NaVO₃ and MgSO₄, respectively. Differences are indicated by ^a,b,c,dversus Control_LPOspont., SMV_LPOspont., MS_LPOspont. and SMV-MS_LPOspont., respectively, (Wilcoxon or 𝑡 test). ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^‡𝑃<0.01, ^†𝑃<0.001, ^‡‡𝑃=0.07. Numerical values in the bars or above them indicate how many times the MDA level increased (↑).
