Ameliorating effect of ASE on the CCl4-induced redox state disturbance in the brain tissue. (A) reactive oxygen species (ROS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels. (B) thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and nitric oxide (NO) levels. (C) reduced glutathione (GSH) level and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity. (D) superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities. Results are expressed as mean ± S.E of 7 animals. BHT butylated hydroxytoluene, C control untreated rats, V olive oil (vehicle of CCl4)-administered rats (0.5 ml/kg b.w., ip, 6 times), CCl4 rats with systemic toxicity induced by CCl4 injection (1 mL/kg b.w., ip, 6 times), CCl4-ASE rats with systemic toxicity after their oral treatment with ASE (7.5 g/kg b.w.) for 10 days. ASE, normal rats were administered only ASE (7.5 g/kg b.w.) for 10 days. Different letters refer to the significance at P < 0.05, CCl4-ASE group was compared with the CCl4 group, while V and ASE groups were individually compared with the C group.
