*3.1. Subject Characteristics*

The general characteristics and hemogram results are presented in Table 1. Age, body mass and height were not different between PRO and AMA groups. Interestingly, PRO had higher MCH (4.8%, *p* < 0.001) and MCHC (3.6%, *p* < 0.001) compared to AMA. There were no group differences in RBC, Hb, HCT and MCV (Table 1). No correlation was found between age and antioxidant markers in both groups. However, there were correlations found between age and Hb, HCT and MCHC (r ≤ −0.597, *p* < 0.05).
