Systemic oxidative stress indices.

Mean ± SEMean ± SE

RONS (RFU/μl) 34.03 ± 6.48 39.73 ± 6.52

Systemic oxidative stress variables for Q1 and Q5 (n=40). Total antioxidant potential (AOP) was higher in Q5 than Q1 (P = 0.0013). No difference was found between Q1 and Q5 for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) or oxidant stress index (Osi) (P > 0.05).
