Table 3. Levels of total thiols, glutathione (GSH), catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), malondialdehyde (MDA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the tissue homogenates of different groups. The levels of total thiols, GSH, catalase, and TAC were significantly decreased in the tissue homogenates of cadmium-exposed rats compared to untreated control rats. MDA and H2O2 levels were significantly increased in the tissue homogenates of cadmium-exposed rats compared to untreated control rats. Lutein-treated rats showed no significant differences compared to untreated control rats. The estimated biochemical parameters in tissue homogenates of rats exposed to cadmium and administered with lutein demonstrated improvements toward the control levels and were significantly different compared to those measured in the cadmium-exposed rats
