Carbofuran Induced Oxidative Stress in Rat Heart: Ameliorative Effect of Vitamin C

Table 1

Summary of the results showing the effect of carbofuran on the activity of AChE in the heart of Wistar rat as presented in Figure 1.

Activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IU mg^−1 protein)
Control	5% CF	10% CF	Vit. C	Vit. C + 5% CF	Vit. C + 10% CF
45.06	36.69** (−20%)	18.88*** (−60%)	46.18^ns	40.15^ns	36.86*

The (−) sign shows decrease in the AChE activity. The values are mean ± SD of five independent experiments. The procedure for estimation of AChE activity was the same as mentioned in Section 2. ns: nonsignificant. *, **, and *** indicate the 𝑃 values significance at <0.05, <0.01, and <0.001, respectively. ns: nonsignificant at 𝑃>0.05 as compared to control.
