UA increased serum SOD level and decreased serum MDA level in liver fibrotic rats.

Notes: Rats were administered with 1% DMN dissolved in saline (1 mL/kg body weight) by intraperitoneal injection for 3 consecutive days per week for 4 weeks to induce liver fibrosis. Bar graphs showing the serum level of SOD (A) and MDA (B) in rats received treatment of vehicle control, DMN alone, DMN +20 mg/kg UA, and DMN +40 mg/kg UA. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n=5). ***P<0.001.

Abbreviations: UA, ursolic acid; SOD, superoxide dismutase; MDA, maleic dialdehyde; DMN, dimethylnitrosamine; SD, standard deviation.
