^aData are shown as the mean ± SEM.
TAS, total antioxidant status; NEFA, non strerifed fatty acids; TBARS, Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances; PC, Protein carbonyl; 8-OHdG, 8-hidroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine guanosine; AOPP, advanced oxidation protein products.
^a,bMean values within a row and within control groups with different superscript lowercase letters differ (P < 0.05) by Tukey’s test.
^A,BMean values within a row and within anemic groups with different superscript capital letters differ (P < 0.05) by Tukey’s test.
^CIndicates difference (P < 0.05) for control vs. anemic group within a diet by the Student’s t test.
