Treatment with Aqueous Extract from Croton cajucara Benth Reduces Hepatic Oxidative Stress in Streptozotocin-Diabetic Rats

Table 1

Inhibition of DPPH, IC₅₀ values for the DPPH assay of the C. cajucara aqueous extract, Trolox, rutin, and ascorbic acid, as well as the AEAC^**.

Sample	Inhibition (%)				IC50 (μg/mL)
concentration	1 μg/mL	10 μg/mL	100 μg/mL	1000 μg/mL
Ascorbic acid	9.70	98.11	99.40	99.62	4.03 ± 0.16
Trolox	8.94	45.82	91.27	99.03	15.52 ± 2.64
Rutin	5.22	31.83	82.86	97.89	18.64 ± 0.94
C. cajucara	2.61	13.74	57.32	91.38	63.34 ± 29.28

Mean ± standard deviation of three individual determinations. Results were based on the values measured at 20 min. Ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and rutin were used as positive controls.
