  • “Both the 14‐ and 28‐day animals of the AP + Açai groups showed higher glutathione (GSH) levels than those in their respective positive control groups (AP14: 16.350 ± 0.947; AP + Açai14: 20.01 ± 0.831; AP28: 14.957 ± 1.363; AP + Açai28: 19.15 ± 0.594; p <.05).”
    Population
    Male Wistar rats with experimentally induced apical periodontitis in both arms (AP + clarified açaí against AP + saline), plasma glutathione, 14-day and 28-day groups reported together

What did not

  • “Regarding the TEAC analysis, no difference was observed between the groups (AP14: 1.975 ± 0.018; AP + Açai14: 1.981 ± 0.022; AP28: 1.89 ± 0.009; AP + Açai28: 1.903 ± 0.022; p >.05).”
    Population
    Male Wistar rats with experimentally induced apical periodontitis in both arms (AP + clarified açaí against AP + saline), plasma TEAC by ABTS, 14-day and 28-day groups reported together
