EVALUATION OF THE ANTIOXIDANT EFFECTS OF ZIZIPHUS MAURITIANA LAM. LEAF EXTRACTS AGAINST CHRONIC ETHANOL-INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY IN RAT LIVER

Chronic alcohol ingestion is known to increase the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby leading to liver damage. Antioxidant enzymes act individually or in combination to reduce or counter the effect of these ROS. Chronic administration of alcohol at (40% v/v, 1ml/100g), for 6 weeks...
