Ellagic Acid Suppresses the Oxidative Stress Induced by Dietary-Oxidized Tallow

Table 4

Effects of ellagic acid supplementation against the oxidative stress induced by thermally oxidized tallow on the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the liver lipids.

Duration (weeks)	DPPH radical scavenging activity (%)
	Control	OT + 50EA	OT + 100EA	OT + 150EA	100EA	OT
1	33.7 ± 2.6^a	47.7 ± 2.0^b	60.3 ± 4.4^c	71.3 ± 3.0^d	41.3 ± 3.3^e	23.7 ± 2.1^f
2	35.3 ± 1.2^a	49.3 ± 1.2^b	65.3 ± 2.0^c	72.7 ± 2.0^d	37.7 ± 2.0^a	25.2 ± 1.2^e
3	37.3 ± 2.4^a	61.3 ± 3.2^b	64.3 ± 3.6^b	76.0 ± 2.1^c	95.0 ± 2.1^d	27.3 ± 2.0^e

Data are the mean of replicate () readings. Different superscript letters (a-f) in the same treatment week represent the significant difference at using Tukey’s test. DPPH represents diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl; OT represents oxidized tallow; EA is ellagic acid; 50, 100, and 150 represent the respective dose amounts in mg per kg of rabbit body weight.
