Treatment	MDA; (nmol /mg protein)	SOD; (units/mg protein)	CAT; (mol H2O2/min/mg protein)	GPx; (mol GSH/mg protein)
Control	1.08 ± 0.07 ###	8.44 ± 0.31###	186.04± 6.13###	5.6± 1.07 ###
Carr	1.94± 0.01	2.26 ± 0.12	77.12± 1.6	1.23± 0.07
Carr + DEX	0.98 ± 0.04 ###	6.65 ± 0.57 ###	114.13± 3.9	4.36 ± 0.19 ###
Carr + J. phoenicea EtOH-H2OE	1.03 ± 0.009 ###	7.11 ± 0.13 ###	169.62± 4.3##	4.44 ± 0.31 ###

Values are mean ± SE for six rats in each group. represents P < 0.001; represents P < 0.01; represents P < 0.05.
SOD: superoxide dismutase, CAT: catalase, GSH: glutathione peroxidase, MDA: malondialdehyde.
(P < 0.001) represents highly significant difference in comparison with control mice.
(P < 0.01) represents moderately significant difference in comparison with control mice.
(P <0.05) represents significant difference in comparison with control mice.
(P <0.001) represents highly significant difference in comparison with Carr group.
(P < 0.01) represents moderately significant difference in comparison with Carr group.
