Treatment groups	Hemolysate U^A	Kidney U^B	Liver U^B
Saline (control)	3.65±0.27	22.71±1.25	68.26±3.15
KBrO3 (125 mg/kg body weight)	1.59±0.13^△△	13.23±0.79^△△	49.75±2.62
FR (150 mg/kg body weight) + KBrO3	2.86±0.20^∗	14.82±0.82	60.35±2.79^∗
FR (300 mg/kg body weight) + KBrO3	3.19±0.25^∗∗	15.37±0.85	62.85±2.80^∗

Values were expressed as mean ± SD, 𝑛=6. The dose of KBrO₃ was 125 mg/kg body weight in each group.
U^A: µ moles of H₂O₂ utilized/min/mg Hb; U^B: µ moles of H₂O₂ utilized/min/mg protein.
^△𝑃<0.05 and ^△△𝑃<0.01 compared with the control group.
^∗𝑃<0.05 and ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 compared with KBrO₃-treated rats.
