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

Table 3

Summary of the results showing the effect of carbofuran on the activity of LDH in serum of Wistar rat as presented in Figure 3.

Activity of LDH (𝜇moles min^−1 mg^−1 protein)
Control	5% CF	10% CF	Vit. C	Vit. C + 5% CF	Vit. C + 10% CF
3.740	4.890^∗ (+29.72%)	6.220^∗∗∗ (+66.31%)	3.375^ns	3.865^ns	4.165^ns

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