  1. Values are Mean ± S.E.M, n = 8; nmol/g, nanomoles per gram; U/g, units per gram; TVE, Thymus vulgaris extract; CdCl2, Cadmium chloride; MDA, malondyaldehyde; CAT, catalase; SOD, superoxide dismutase. Mean values bearing different superscripts in the same column differ significantly at p ≤ 0.05
