Malondialdehyde levels and catalase and SOD activities in TAD samples. a – The levels of malondialdehyde in the aortic media were significantly higher in the TAD group (*p < 0.05). b – Catalase activity was lower in the TAD group, but the difference was not statistically significant. c – Total SOD activity and activities of Cu/Zn-SOD plus EC-SOD had both decreased in the TAD group compared with the control group, but no significant differences in Mn-SOD activity were found between groups
