Figure 4. A). Lipid hydroperoxide concentration andB). Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) (means ± standard
error; Table S4) in the liver and pectoralis muscle of European
starlings that were or were not flown in the wind tunnel for 15 days,
Flight-trained (N=49) or Untrained (N=40), respectively. Flight-trained
birds had lower levels of lipid hydroperoxides in the liver compared to
untrained birds but there were no differences in the pectoralis related
to flight training. There were no significant differences in hydroxyl or
peroxyl scavenging capacities between flight-trained and untrained birds
in the liver or pectoralis. Asterisks correspond to significance levels:
*p<0.1, **p<0.05 , ***p<0.01
