Figures & Tables

Changes in serum derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) in the VC group (solid squares) and the control group (hollow squares)
The amount of d-ROMs corresponds to the amount of hydrogen peroxide
The asterisk indicates a significant difference between groups at the same age (P < 0.05)
Data are shown as mean ± SE — Changes in serum derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) in the VC group (solid squares) and the control group (hollow squares) The amount of d-ROMs corresponds to the amount of hydrogen peroxide The asterisk indicates a significant difference between groups at the same age (P < 0.05) Data are shown as mean ± SE
