a Gene expression of SOD1, SOD2 and catalase in the liver (mean ± SD). Double asterisk (p < 0.01) and triple asterisk (p < 0.005) denote statistically significant difference compared to the C group, #Statistically significant compared to the D group (p < 0.05). b Gene expression of PAI-1 gene in the liver (mean ± SD). The triple asterisk (p < 0.005) denotes a statistically significant difference compared to the C group; ###Statistically significant compared to the D group (p < 0.005). c The strong correlation between SOD activity and TAC in liver (rs = 0.732, p < 0.001)
