Changes in the plasma antioxidant indexes in the HEAL, SCHK, and SCHC goats during the peripartum period. (A) GSH concentration; (B) GSSG concentration; (C) VC concentration; (D) VE concentration. The plasma variables were analyzed by repeated measurements ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Repeated measures on each goat were considered (repeated factor: time during the periparturient period). ^AP < 0.01 and ^aP < 0.05 between the SCHK and HEAL groups. ^BP < 0.01 and ^bP < 0.05 between the SCHC and HEAL groups. Values are expressed as means ± SEM from 10 goats/group (n = 10)
