Antioxidant enzyme activities of (a), (b), and (c) erythrocytes, (d), (e), and (f) liver and (g), (h), and (i) kidney in experimental groups. W-C, normotensive Wistar rats, and SHR-C, spontaneously hypertensive rats, received vehicle. W-TE and SHR-TE groups received thyme extract, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). and , the significant difference between SHR-C and W-C; and , the significant difference between TE treated and appropriate control group.
