Oxidative and apoptotic biomarkers. (a) Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. (b) Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity. (c) Malondialdehyde (MDA). (d) Interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels. Rats were divided into six groups, undergoing either a sham operation or mesenteric ischemia–reperfusion, and received vehicle or Phosphatidylserine (PS) at doses of 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg. Individual data points are presented, with graphs indicating mean ± standard deviation (SD). n = 6 rats for each measurement in each group. *, **, ***, and **** indicates p < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001 compared to the Sham group. #, ##, and ### denote p < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001, respectively, in comparison to the Vehicle group. Statistical analysis was performed using the ordinary (a, b, d) or welch (c) one-way ANOVA followed by Šidák (a, b, d) or Dunnett (c) multiple comparison post-hoc test.
