The values correspond to the mean ± SEM (). BHT: 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy toluene; MC: methyl chavicol; MPMO: 2-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]oxirane. The means differed from those of the positive control (BHT) after analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s HSD (honest significant difference) test for .
