The Neuroprotective Effect of Cornus mas on Brain Tissue of Wistar Rats

Table 2

Activity of oxidative stress markers (CAT, PON1, FRAP, PCG, and SH) marked in brain tissue homogenates in Wistar rats. Data are presented as means from independent measurements ± standard deviation (SD). Different letters in the same columns indicate significant differences according to Tukey’s test ().
