Level of oxidative stress markers in before and after treatment groups.

Parameters	Pretreatment group		value	Posttreatment group		value
	Control	Treatment		Control	Treatment
TAS (mmol/L)			0.14			0.52
GSH (μmol/L)			0.41			0.44
GSSG (μmol/L)			0.11			0.31
GGT (U/L)			0.24			0.18
SOD (U/mL)			0.34			0.12
MDA (nmol/mL)			0.64			0.42

Values represent the and compared using a one-way ANOVA test. TAS: total antioxidant status; GSH: reduced glutathione; GSSG: oxidized glutathione; GGT: gamma-glutamyl transferase; SOD: superoxide dismutase; MDA: malondialdehyde.
