Figure 1

Effect of carbofuran and vitamin C on the activity of AChE in the rat heart. The procedures for the administration of carbofuran and pretreatment with vitamin C as well as assay of AChE activity were the same as mentioned in Section 2. The unit of enzyme activity was expressed as IU mg−1 protein. The data represent mean ± SD of 5 independent experiments. *, **, and *** indicate the values significance at <0.05, <0.01, and <0.001, respectively. ns = nonsignificant at as compared to the control group.
