Groups	Ctrl	Ctrl-MC	DM-Ctrl	DM-MC	DM-Met
SOD (U/mL)	2.82 ± 0.66	3.65 ± 0.47^#	2.30 ± 0.63	6.21 ± 0.57*	3.62 ± 0.48
GSH (M)	516.55 ± 45.22	605.83 ± 66.16^#	469.60 ± 70.16	1015.26 ± 70.20*	550.56 ± 66.80
CAT (M)	42.93 ± 0.73	44.44 ± 0.49^#	41.20 ± 0.55	48.88 ± 0.43*	43.12 ± 0.56
Hydroxyproline (g/L)	0.0081 ± 0.0015	0.0083 ± 0.0010^#	0.0179 ± 0.0015	0.0091 ± 0.0011*	0.0086 ± 0.0016

Each value was expressed as mean ± SEM (). versus DM-Ctrl group; ^# versus Ctrl group. SOD: superoxide dismutase activity; GSH: glutathione activity; CAT: catalase activity.
