Note: CAT 1 U = the amount of enzyme that consumes 1 nmole H2O2/min. GST 1 U = the amount of enzyme that conjugates 1 μmole CDNB/min. GSH-Px 1 U = the amount of enzyme that converts 1 μM GSH to GSSG in the presence of H2O2/min. SOD 1 U = the amount of enzyme required for 50% inhibition of pyrogallol autooxidation. Data are shown as means ± SD () from three separate experiments performed in triplicate. indicates values < 0.05, and indicates values < 0.01.
