Effect of CCl₄ with or without prior administration of natansnin on Catalase levels in liver homogenate and mitochondria. Catalase levels were estimated in homogenate and mitochondrial fractions from control, CCl₄ and natansnin (10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg body weight) treated rats. Values are given as percent control, and are mean ± S.D. of at least four animals. 0.3 mg of homogenate protein and 0.1 mg of mitochondrial protein were used for each assay. Catalase activity is expressed as nmols of H₂O₂ consumed per min per mg protein. The control values in homogenate and mitochondria are 733.9 ± 38.9, 1453 ± 64.6 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).
