^a–b within rows represents significantly different means (P < 0.05). ALB: albumin, GLB: globulin, TP: total protein, AST: aspartate transaminase, ALT: alanine transaminase, TC: total cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, CK: creatine kinase, MDA: malondialdehyde, SOD: superoxide dismutase, CAT: catalase. SEM: standard error of the mean.
