(a) Serum SOD activity for various WBC treatments. Control: animals that did not undergo WBC treatment; group −60/5: 1 min of WBC stimulation, 5 days, −60°C; group −60/10: 1 min of WBC stimulation, 10 days, −60°C; group −90/5: 1 min of WBC stimulation, 5 days, −90°C; group −90/10: 1 min of WBC stimulation, 10 days, −90°C. Statistical significance was set at , compared with control. (b) Erythrocytes SOD activity after for various WBC treatments.
