CAT: catalase; GSH: glutathione; GPx: glutathione peroxidase; MDA: malondialdehyde. The results were presented as of 6 rats; DW: distilled water; Pr: propolis; H: honey; Gent: gentamicin. ^aComparison between the DW group and all groups; ^bcomparison between the Gent group and gentamicin cotreated groups; ^ccomparison between the Gent+Pr group and the Gent+Pr+H group; ^dcomparison between the Gent+H group and the Gent+Pr+H group. , , and .
