Effect of aqueous TA extract on TBARS formation in CCl₄ induced hepatic and renal damages in mice. Aqueous extract of TAwas administered 7 days prior to CCl₄ treatment (1 ml/kg body weight). Left panel shows effects of the extract on liver and right panel shows that on the kidney against CCl₄ induced MDA contents. Cont: MDA content in normal mice, CCl₄: MDA content in only CCl₄ treated mice, TA+CCl₄: MDA level in which extract was given at a dose 50 mg/kg body weight prior to CCl₄ administration, VitE+CCl₄: MDA level in which vitamin E was given at a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight prior to CCl₄ administration. Each column represents mean ± SD, n = 6; (P* < 0.01, P** < 0.001).
