| antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of punicalagin and punicalin on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver damage in rats. | punicalagin and punicalin, isolated from the leaves of terminalia catappa l., are used to treat dermatitis and hepatitis. both compounds have strong antioxidative activity. the antihepatotoxic activity of punicalagin and punicalin on carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced toxicity in the rat liver was evaluated. levels of serum glutamate-oxalate-transaminase and glutamate-pyruvate-trans-aminase were increased by administration of ccl4 and reduced by drug treatment. histological changes around the l ... | 1998 | 9720629 |
