The results showed that melatonin statistically activated the CAT, POD, and GRd activity (P < 0.05).
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Effects of melatonin on the levels of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GRd), and malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, in erythrocytes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The results showed that melatonin statistically activated the CAT, POD, and GRd activity (P < 0.05).
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Moreover, MDA levels were significantly decreased as a result of melatonin treatment (P < 0.01).
