Their anti-inflammatory effects were assessed through the measurement of peroxidase activity, leukocyte and neutrophil migration, and quantification of cytokines in peritonitis models by Fontenelle et al. [118], and their antioxidant effects by assessing the enzymatic levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) [119]. This evidence concerns the gene CAT and peritonitis.
