The effect of various doses of PMG on oxidative stress markers in the subcutaneous area.

Treatment group	MDA (ng/mg protein)	SOD (units/mg protein)	CAT (units/mg protein)	GSH-Px (units/mg protein)
ND+vehicle
HCHF+vehicle	^aaa	^aaa	^aaa	^aaa
HCHF+VitaminC
HCHF+Simvastatin
HCHF+PMG50
HCHF+PMG100
HCHF+PMG200

Data are presented as (/group). ^aaa value < 0.001, compared to naïve control which received ND and vehicle and value < 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively, compared to metabolic syndrome rats which received HCHF and vehicle. ND: normal diet; HCHF: high-carbohydrate high-fat diet; VitaminC: vitamin C at a dose of 250 mg·kg^-1 BW; Simvastatin: simvastatin at a dose of 1.3 mg·kg^-1 BW; PMG50, PMG100, and PMG200: the phytosome containing the extracts of mulberry and ginger at a dose of 50, 100, and 200 mg·kg^-1 BW, respectively.
