Lipid peroxidation product and endogen antioxidant activity in CCl4-intoxicated mice. Mice were pretreated with the extract or methylprednisolone during 3 consecutive days. On the third day, acute liver injury was induced with carbon tetrachloride. Bar graphs represent, Malondialdehyde level (a), Glutathione content (b), Total superoxide dismutase (c) and Catalase (d) activity in mice. Data are expressed as mean ± Standard Error of the Mean. Significant Dunn’s post tests are indicated as *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns: non-significant. The p-value indicates the Mann-Whitney test. One experiment conducted, n = 10 in each group. MDA: Malondialdehyde; GSH: Glutathione; SOD: Superoxide dismutase; CAT: Catalase; MP: Methylprednisolone
