Parameters	Statistics	G1; Negative control	G2; Positive control	G3; L. sativum extract	G4; Cinnamon extract

	LSD 0.05 = 0.164
	-test	—	−52.66	8.71	34.09
MDA; nmol/g kidney tissue	Mean ± SE	2.586 ± 0.069	16.081 ± 0.183	7.581 ± 0.071	4.731 ± 0.090

Data are represented as mean ± SE. For -test values, is significant at . For ANOVA analysis, within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c, or d) are significantly different at , whereas means superscripts with the same letters mean that there is no significant difference at . LSD: least significant difference.
