Group	Catalase (μmol/mg protein)	MDA (nmol/mg protein)	SOD (unit/mL)
Distilled water 10 mL/kg	16.80 ± 10.84	0.104 ± 0.01	11.00 ± 0.58
AME 100 mg/kg	35.29 ± 11.70	0.103 ± 0.05	14.00 ± 0.58*
AME 200 mg/kg	47.51 ± 20.90	0.086 ± 0.03	18.00 ± 0.58*
AME 400 mg/kg	128.72 ± 31.27*	0.016 ± 0.01*	20.33 ± 0.88*

∗P < 0.05 are statistically significant when compared to distilled water treated group.
