The values were expressed as mean ± SD (); EFe+2 = equivalent of iron; HEDF (hydroalcoholic extract of D. furfuracea); Mt-OH (methanolic fraction); Ac-OEt (ethyl acetate fraction); and Asc. Ac. (ascorbic acid). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM (). Averages followed by different letters differ by Tukey’s test at .
