Figure 1

Effect of CCl 4 with or without prior administration of natansnin on lipid peroxide level in liver homogenate and mitochondria. Homogenate and mitochondrial fractions were isolated from control, CCl4 and natansnin (10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg body weight) treated rats and lipid peroxides were estimated using thiobarbituric acid reaction method. Values are given as percent control, and are mean ± S.D. of at least four animals. Lipid peroxide levels were expressed as nmol MDA formed per 100 mg protein. The control values in homogenate and mitochondria are 135.2 ± 8.6, 121.4 ± 6.6 respectively. a = Statistical significant at P < 0.05 as compare to control, b = Statistical significant at P < 0.05 as compare to CCl4, c = Statistical significant at P < 0.05 as compare to CCl4+ natansnin (10 mg).
