Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Total antioxidant capacity: A set of compounds that are able to protect biological systems against the harmful effects of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species . Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: Total antioxidant capacity testing is performed through commercially available kits and the ELISA reader.;Malondialdehyde (MDA): One of the most common lipid indicators of oxidative stress. Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: Serum malondialdehyde levels are assessed through commercially available kits and an ELISA reader.;Activity of catalase enzyme: It is an antioxidant enzyme involved in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide (the reactive oxygen species). Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: Catalase activity is assessed through commercially available kits and an ELISA reader.;Activity of super oxide dismutase enzyme: It is an enzyme that converts superoxide free radicals to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen molecules. Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: super oxide dismutase activity is assessed through commercially available kits and an ELISA reader. | — |

|---|---|
| Expressed levels of interleukin-6 gene. Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: We first synthesize RNA molecules with the help of reverse transcriptase enzyme (MMLV enzyme) and convert them into complementary DNAs called cDNAs. Then, with the help of Realtime PCR, we examine the expression of the target gene.;Expressed levels of NRF-2 gene. Timepoint: Baseline and End-of-trial. Method of measurement: We first synthesize RNA molecules with the help of reverse transcriptase enzyme (MMLV enzyme) and convert them into complementary DNAs called cDNAs. Then, with the help of Realtime PCR, we examine the expression of the target gene. | — |
