Activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in control and experimental groups of rats. SOD activity was measured by the method of Misra and Fridovich.42 The activity was expressed in U/min/mg protein. One unit of enzyme activity has been defined to cause 50% inhibition of auto-oxidation of epinephrine by 1.0 ml of homogenate. Each values is a mean ± SD (n = 5 in each group). *Values are statistically significant at p<0.001. Normal + MC treated (groups II), normal + TFG treated (group III) and diabetic control (group IV) were compared with normal control (group I). Diabetic + MC treated (group V) and diabetic + TFG treated (groups VI) were compared with diabetic control (group IV). The experiments were repeated thrice. MC, Momordica charantia; TFG, Trigonella foenum graecum.
