Figure 9From: Aqueous extract of Terminalia arjuna prevents carbon tetrachloride induced hepatic and renal disordersEffect of aqueous TA extract on TBARS formation in CCl4 induced hepatic and renal damages in mice. Aqueous extract of TAwas administered 7 days prior to CCl4 treatment (1 ml/kg body weight). Left panel shows effects of the extract on liver and right panel shows that on the kidney against CCl4 induced MDA contents. Cont: MDA content in normal mice, CCl4: MDA content in only CCl4 treated mice, TA+CCl4: MDA level in which extract was given at a dose 50 mg/kg body weight prior to CCl4 administration, VitE+CCl4: MDA level in which vitamin E was given at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight prior to CCl4 administration. Each column represents mean ± SD, n = 6; (P* < 0.01, P** < 0.001).Back to article page
