Res and NAC attenuated MBCDs-induced oxidative stress and glucose homeostasis imbalance. a The blood glucose levels of mice tail veins. b Time course of changes and area under the curve (AUC) of blood glucose levels during the OGTT. c The activities of total SOD (T-SOD) and glutathione (GSH) in the serum and the liver. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the serum and the liver. d Oxidative stress-related proteins were validated by western blot. *p < 0.05 for vs. C group, **p < 0.01 for vs. C group, ***p < 0.001 for vs. C group, #p < 0.05 for vs. MBCDs group, ##p < 0.01 for vs. MBCDs group, ###p < 0.001 for vs. MBCDs group. Results are the mean ± SE (n = 8)
