Mice in different groups were treated as indicated in the material and methods section. Effect of EaF10 on the level of the enzymatic (activity) and non-enzymatic (content) antioxidants in the liver was determined. Values are expressed as means ± SD, n = 6; a values significantly different compared to normal control group (P˂0.05); b values significantly different compared to CCl4-intoxicated group (P˂0.05) using Bonferroni's test. Control: normal control group; CCl4: CCl4-intoxicated group alone; CCl4+Sil (100mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + silymarin (100mg/Kg)-treated group; CCl4 + EaF10 (25mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + EaF10 (25mg/Kg)-treated group; CCl4 + EaF10 (100mg/Kg): CCl4-intoxicated + EaF10 (100mg/Kg)-treated group. SOD: Superoxide dismutase; CAT: Catalase; GST: Glutathione-s-transferase; GSH: Reduced glutathione.
