Figure 6.
Catalase activity in the thymus (a), spleen (b) and liver (c) at the end of the study. The non-supplemented groups are represented by white symbols (⚪) and the hesperidin groups by black symbols (⚫). SED = sedentary group, T = trained group, TE = T group with an additional exhaustion test, TE24 = TE group 24 h after the exhaustion test. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 7–8). Statistical differences (Mann–Whitney U test): # p < 0.05 between non-supplemented and the hesperidin-supplemented groups; * p < 0.05 vs. SED group just in the non-supplemented animals; δ p < 0.05 vs. TE group just in the non-supplemented animals; φ p < 0.05 vs. T group just in the non-supplemented animals.
