Fig. 3

Serum concentrations of oxidant/antioxidant parameters in surgical castration (S) and chemical castration (Ch) groups. Graphic representation of changes in serum oxidant/antioxidant levels of donkeys at days 15, 30, 45, and 60 following surgical or CaCl2 castration vs. day 0 (pre-castration). Values are expressed as means ± SEM, n = 6 animals per group. * indicates significant difference between each time point post-castration and day 0 using repeated measures ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. # indicates significant difference between the two types of castration at each post-castration time point using independent-samples t-test. TPX: total peroxide; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; OSI: oxidative stress index; AU: arbitrary unit
