Effect of myrtenal on MDA levels in colon tissue of control and experimental animals. Group I control animals express normal levels of MDA, a biomarker for lipid peroxidation. Group II DMH induced animals show increased MDA levels as a result of lipid peroxidation and enhanced cell division by DNA methylating adducts by DMH. Group III Myrtenal treated animals express significant reduction in the levels of MDA as a result of gradual regeneration of the colon cells. Group IV Myrtenal alone treated animals posses no significant changes expressing no cytotoxic effect on the experimental animals. Results are expressed as mean ± S.D for six animals. aGroup II, III & IV compared with Group I, bGroup III compared with Group II,*p<0.05, NSNot significant.
