  1. TNF-alpha: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha; MDA: malondialdehyde; SOD: superoxide dismutase; NOS: nitric oxide synthase; CAT: catalase; GSH: glutathione peroxidase. Error bars represent standard deviations. *p < 0.05, †p < 0.01 and ‡p < 0.001 vs. the CS group. ap < 0.05, bp < 0.01 and cp < 0.001 vs. the CH group. (CS group, n = 6; GS group, n = 6; CH group, n = 10; GH group, n = 10).
