Values are mean SEM of five determinations and are considered statistically significant at . SOD: superoxide dismutase; GSH-Px: glutathione peroxidase; GSH-Red: glutathione reductase; Glc 6-PD: glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase; HFD: high-fat diet. Enzyme activities are expressed as nmol/min/mg protein. Values with different alphabetical superscript are significantly different ().
