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

Table 2

Summary of the results showing the effect of carbofuran on the activity of LDH in the heart of Wistar rat as presented in Figure 2.

Activity of LDH (𝜇moles min^−1 mg^−1 protein)
Control	5% CF	10% CF	Vit. C	Vit. C + 5% CF	Vit. C + 10% CF
2069	1739^∗∗ (−15.94%)	1230^∗∗∗ (−40.5%)	2085^ns	1916^ns	1849^ns

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 <0.01 and <0.001, respectively. ns: nonsignificant at 𝑃>0.05 as compared to control.
