Logistic response of antioxidants to lipid peroxide concentration in carbon tetrachloride toxicity in rabbit liver was evaluated. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), ethanol extracts of Chromolaena odorata (ETECO), sylimarin (a known hepatoprotective agent) and water, were used to induc...
The ethanol extract of the leaf of Chromolaena odorata (Linn) was assessed for free-radical-scavenging and antioxidant potentials. Ability of the extract to scavenge reactive intermediates (superoxide ion O2·-, hydrogen peroxide H2O2, nitric oxide NO˙, hydroxyl radical OH˙) an...
