The OSI Values Comparison
The lowest value was seen in the Sham group (5.22 ± 0.36a AU) when average OSI values were measured for plasma samples. In the control group (10.63 ± 0.90b AU), the mean maximum OSI value was observed. (Table-1). Similar to the findings of TAC and TOS, OSI values were statistically lower in the Sham and Curcumin groups than in the control group (p<0.05). Low OSI levels were observed more prominently in the Sham group (p <0.05) (Figure-4).
