Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). Comparison between control (n=150) and case (n=150) groups was performed using independent sample t-test. Statistically significant differences were observed in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (U/mL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH, mIU/mL), and Nrf2 gene expression levels (2^-∆∆CT), with p<0.001 for all parameters, as shown in
