  1. Data are shown as mean ± SD derived from six blood samples obtained from the six rats in each group. The statistical significance (P value) between different groups is calculated, and the P < 0.05 are considered statistically significant
  2. 1P: significance versus group 1 (Control); 2P: significance versus group 2 (Low dose Code Red); 3P: significance versus group 3 (High dose Code Red); 4P: significance versus Group 4 (Low dose Code Red + Blueberry)
  3. SOD: superoxide dismutase, GSH: glutathione, MDA: malondialdehyde
