Fig. 1

Percentage change in the parameters indicative of stress response in the groups used for the study. A – mean serum corticosterone level: control versus stress groups and stress + Spirulina platensis versus stress groups; B– effect of supplementation with Spirulina platensis for 28 days on serum total antioxidant capacity; C – total oxidant status; D – paraoxonase 1 in stress-induced rats; E – oxidative stress index in stress-induced rats
All data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 9); * – P < 0.05 when compared with control rat values; # – P < 0.05 when compared with stress-induced rat values
