  1. CAT = catalase, GST = glutathione-S-transferase, GSH = reduced glutathione, GR = glutathione reductase, TBARS = total thiobarbituric acid reactive species, FRAP = ferric reducing antioxidant power assay, eye = eye + the associated infraorbital sinus, CNS = central nervous system, gonads = ovaries or testes, n = 20.
