Effect of PSE and PJ supplementation on the striatal levels of ATP, MDA, and antioxidant enzymes’ activity in PQ-induced animals. ATP level (a), MDA level (b), SOD activity (c), CAT activity (d), and GPx activity (e) in striatum. C = control group; PQ = Paraquat (alone)-treated group; PQ+PSE = PQ-induced group treated with PSE; PQ+PJ = PQ-induced group treated with PJ. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 10 mice in each group. **: P < 0.01, ***: P < 0.001, and ****: P < 0.0001 compared with control group; #: P < 0.05, ##: P < 0.01 compared with PQ group
