Effect of MC on STZ-induced oxidant stress in DN rats. (a) The effect of MC on STZ-induced CAT activity; (b) the effect of MC on STZ-induced GSH-Px activity; (c) the effect of MC on STZ-induced SOD activity; (d) the effect of MC on STZ-induced MDA content. ^&&&𝑃<0.001, ^&&𝑃<0.01, and ^&𝑃<0.05, model versus blank control; ^𝜑𝜑𝑃<0.01 and ^𝜑𝑃<0.05, AG versus model; ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 and ^∗𝑃<0.05, VE versus model; ^##𝑃<0.01 and ^#𝑃<0.05, high-dose versus model, medium-dose versus model, low-dose versus model. Data from individual experiments are presented as means ± SD (𝑛=6).
