Figure 2. Changes in A). oxidative damage (d-ROMs) andB). non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity (OXY) in the plasma
(means ± standard error) in relation to flight-training. Background (BG)
levels of d-ROMs and OXY (solid horizontal line ± standard error, dotted
lines) were not significantly different for flight-trained and untrained
birds (see text) and so were combined. Dietary antioxidants
significantly affected only plasma d-ROMs measured after flight (AF) so
we discriminate between the two diets (filled or open triangles) for
only this time point. Different lower-case letters for the 4 timepoints
(BG, PF, AF, RC) for d-ROMs or OXY denote significant pairwise
comparisons (Table S1).
