Acetonic and Methanolic Extracts of Heterotheca inuloides, and Quercetin, Decrease CCl4-Oxidative Stress in Several Rat Tissues
Figure 5
Effect of acetonic and methanolic extracts of H inuloides and quercetin on increased MDA levels induced by CCl4: (a) heart, (b) kidney, (c) lungs, and (d) brain. O.O, olive oil; P.B, phosphate buffer; Ac. E, acetonic extract; Me. E, methanolic extract; Quer, quercetin; CCl4, carbon tetrachloride. Rats were sacrificed 48 h after the end of treatment. MDA determination was performed three times, in triplicate, and the values represent the mean ±S.D of 9 determinations. * versus O.O, P.B, Ac.E, Me.E, Quer, CCl4 + Me.E and CCl4 + Ac. E, # versus CCl4.
