Change in lipid peroxidation activity (nmol of MDA mg−1 of tissue) in liver and testis of Swiss albino mice in different groups
| Experimental groups | LPO levels in testis | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | Day 3 | Day 7 | Day 14 | Day 30 | |
| Adhatoda alone (800 mg kg−1 body weight) | 1.39 ± 0.15 | 1.32 ± 0.14 | 1.18 ± 0.10 | 0.86 ± 0.10* | 0.82 ± 0.06* |
| Radiation (8 Gy) | 6.20 ± 0.16*** | 9.01 ± 0.20*** | 12.12 ± 0.18*** | 9.10 ± 0.12*** | No survival |
| Adhatoda + radiation (800 mg kg−1 body weight + 8 Gy) | 4.42 ± 0.10 | 5.10 ± 0.18*** | 5.44 ± 0.16** | 4.08 ± 0.20*** | 2.46 ± 0.18 |
Values are depicted as Mean ± SD.
Normal (DDW): 1.65 ± 0.24.
Significance level: *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
Statistical comparison: Adhatoda versus normal (DDW); radiation versus normal (DDW); Adhatoda + radiation versus radiation.
