Effect of MCE on the activities of GSH and the levels of GPx normal and experimental rats.

Groups	Liver GSH (mg per 100 g wet tissue)	Liver GPx (U^d mg^−1 protein)	Brain GSH (mg per 100 g wet tissue)	Brain GPx (U^d mg^−1 protein)
Normal	49.28 ± 3.02^a	9.39 ± 0.70^a	35.45 ± 2.69^a	3.38 ± 0.25^a
Normal + MCE (30 mg kg^−1)	50.46 ± 4.31^a	9.85 ± 0.74^a	37.40 ± 2.76^a	3.57 ± 0.27^a
AC (100 mg kg^−1)	24.86 ± 1.93^b	5.06 ± 0.43^b	20.94 ± 1.74^b	1.19 ± 0.09^b
MCE (30 mg kg^−1) + AC	42.79 ± 3.20^c	7.57 ± 0.72^c	27.62 ± 2.16^c	2.69 ± 0.20^c

Each value is mean ± SD for 8 rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript (a, b and c) differ significantly at P < .05 (DMRT). U^d: microgram of GSH consumed per minute.
