“…The body is equipped with an antioxidant system, which scavenges free radicals; however, low antioxidant capacity promotes oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation and tissue damage ( Akinyemi and Adewole, 2022 ). T-AOC, SOD, GSH-PX, CAT, and MDA are important indicators of the antioxidant capacity of the body, and T-AOC represents the antioxidant defense capacity of the muscle ( Dou et al, 2022 ; Luo et al, 2022b ). SOD is an important antioxidant enzyme in animals and its activity indirectly reflects the ability of the body to prevent muscle lipid oxidation, which in meats used for human consumption affects quality and shelf life ( Wang et al, 2017 ; Chen et al, 2019 ).…”
