Evaluation of the Oxidative Stress Status of Albino Rats Fed with Compounded Spices.

Evaluation of the Oxidative Stress Status of Albino Rats Fed with Compounded Spices.

~ B4ac1de580aec022cd4422ba85c9bc12.200x200
In this study, the effect of mixed spiced diet, Ocimium gratissium (Ncheanwu), and Gongronema latifolium (utazi) on the oxidative stress status of albino rats was evaluated using a total of forty eight apparently healthy adult rats of both sexes, mean body weight 135.18 ± 11.25g. The rats were divided into four groups of twelve rats representing three diet groups and a control. Feeding was...
