Effect of MCE on the levels of TBARS and HP in plasma, liver and brain in normal and experimental rats.

Groups	Plasma TBARS (nM ml^−1)	Plasma HP (values × 10^−5 mM dL^−1)	Liver TBARS (mM per 100 g wet tissue)	Liver HP (mM per 100 g wet tissue)	Brain TBARS (mM per 100 g wet tissue)	Brain HP (mM per 100 g wet tissue)
Normal	2.74 ± 0.17^a	8.40 ± 0.11^a	0.86 ± 0.07^a	66.08 ± 5.21^a	1.06 ± 0.08^a	112.00 ± 8.50^a
Normal + MCE (300 mg kg^−1)	2.93 ± 0.17^a	8.25 ± 0.54^a	0.80 ± 0.06^a	64.03 ± 5.12^a	0.96 ± 0.07^a	111.28 ± 8.48^a
AC (100 mg kg^−1)	4.56 ± 0.35^b	13.16 ± 1.01^b	2.16 ± 0.14^b	97.86 ± 7.03^b	1.97 ± 0.15^b	135.24 ± 10.30^b
MCE (300 mg kg^−1) + AC	3.10 ± 0.17^c	10.20 ± 0.89^c	1.15 ± 0.11^c	76.56 ± 5.81^c	1.36 ± 0.11^c	118.44 ± 2.76^c

Each value is mean ± SD for 8 rats in each group. Values not sharing a common superscript (a, b and c) differ significantly at P < .05 (DMRT).
