Fig. 2 Changes in total carotenoid content
Fig. 3 Change in lipid
peroxidation
3.1.2 Amount of Lipid Peroxidation
Statistically significant increases (p = 0.001) of 1.2 and 1.35 fold have been observed
in 500 and 800 μM Cu-treated samples whereas in 1000 μM Cu-treated samples,
the increase in MDA production is 1.16 fold (significant at 1% level) (Fig. 3).
3.2 Evaluation of Antioxidant Activity
3.2.1 Total Antioxidant Activity
There have been 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8 fold increases in the total antioxidant activity with
the addition of 500, 800, and 1000 μM Cu, respectively (Fig. 4).
