Treatments—I: control. II: CCl₄ 30%. III: EEAB (250 mg/kg) + CCl₄ 30%. IV: EEAB (500 mg/kg) + CCl₄ 30%. CAT: µmoles of H₂O₂ utilized/min/mg protein. SOD: units/min/mg protein. GPX: µmoles of GSH oxidized/min/mg protein. GSH: µg of GSH/mg protein. Vitamin C & E: µg/mg protein. Values are mean ± SEM (n = 3). Means with different suffix letters (a, b, c and d) differ significantly (p < 0.05).
