Vitamin K protects against 7,12‐dimethylbenz(A)anthracene induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats

Humans are daily exposed to 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), a well known polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). This study investigated the role of dietary intake of Vitamin K (VK), a polyphenolic compound, with potential antioxidative properties, against DMBA‐induced hepatotoxicity. Sixty e...

Zusammenfassung:Humans are daily exposed to 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), a well known polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). This study investigated the role of dietary intake of Vitamin K (VK), a polyphenolic compound, with potential antioxidative properties, against DMBA‐induced hepatotoxicity. Sixty experimental animals (120‐150 g) were divided into six groups (A‐F): Control, DMBA (80 mg/kg bw) only, VK (0.00 g/10 kg) diet only, VK (7.5 g/10 kg) diet only, DMBA + VK (0.0 g/10 kg) diet and DMBA + VK (7.5 g/10 kg) diet. Single oral administration of DMBA (80 mg/kg body weight) to Wistar rats resulted in hepatic damage after 16 weeks. DMBA significantly (P
