Antioxidant Effect of Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract against Potassium Dichromate Induced Oxidative DNA Damage in Small Intestine of Adult Male Albino Rats
Abstract:Background: Chromium usage is increasing worldwide. Oral exposure to hexavalent chromium Cr (VI) in animals and humans causes various health hazards. Cr (VI) compounds are classified as class I human carcinogens. Antioxidants were reported to inhibit chemical carcinogenesis. Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE), naturally occurring compounds, have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-tumor activities. Objectives: Accordingly, this work was conducted to investigate the antioxidant effect… Show more
