Mate Tea Prevents Oxidative Stress in the Blood and Hippocampus of Rats with Acute or Chronic Ethanol Administration

<table>Effects of chronic administration of ethanol, mate tea, and mate tea plus ethanol on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA-RSs) (a), on catalase (b) and glutathione peroxidase (c) activities in rat hippocampus. Data are mean ± SD for 5 independent experiments (animals) performed in duplicate. <svg height="17.825001" id="M39" style="vertical-align:-3.276pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 69.150002 17.825001" width="69.150002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
