Protective Effect of Capparis spinosa Extract against Potassium Bromate Induced Oxidative Stress and Genotoxicity in Mice
Figure 9
Representative images of liver cells of mice stained with carboxy-H2DCFDA showing effects of C. spinosa extracts on the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by KBrO3 alone or in combination treated for 72 hours. (a) Control. (b) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO3. (c) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO3 + 50 mg/kg bw C. spinosa. (d) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO3 + 100 mg/kg bw C. spinosa. (e) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO3 + 150 mg/kg bw C. spinosa. Increase or decrease of ROS level is shown in percentage relative to control which is set at 100 percent (f). PB: potassium bromate; CS: Capparis spinosa. ANOVA Significant ( < 0.05).
