Effects of MeJA on the oxidative state of plasma and liver in arthritic rats. (a) Plasma protein carbonyl groups; (b) plasma thiol groups; (c) ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP); (d) hepatic protein carbonyl groups; (e) hepatic TBARS levels; (f) hepatic oxygen reactive species (ROS). C: controls treated with corn oil; C300: control treated with 300 mg·kg−1 MeJA; A: arthritic rats treated with corn oil; A150 and A300: arthritic rats treated with 150 and 300 mg·kg−1 MeJA; IBU: arthritic rats treated with ibuprofen (30 mg·kg−1). Data represent the of 5 animals. Values with different superscript letters are statistically different ().
