Resveratrol Regulates Antioxidant Status, Inhibits Cytokine Expression and Restricts Apoptosis in Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Rat Hepatic Injury

Table 6

Quantification of hepatic apoptosis of rats at the end of the study.

Groups	Apoptotic index^a (AI)
B	21.3±1.2
C	13.71±0.17^∗
D	10.60±0.28^∗∗

Group B, CCl₄-administered rats; group C, resveratrol-(100 mg/kg) treated rats; group D, resveratrol-(200 mg/kg) treated rats. Results are mean ± S.E.M for 10 animals; One way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test.
^∗𝑃<0.05and ^∗∗𝑃<0.01 as compared to group B.
Approximately 200 cells were counted per field, five fields were examined per slide, and five slides were examined per group.
^aThe percentage of TUNEL positive apoptotic cells was denoted as apoptotic index (AI).
