“…The benzo(a)pyrene 50 mg/kg body weight given to mice caused elevation in lipid peroxide levels, markers of specific tumor to lungs such as carcinoembryonic antigen also called CEA and NSE or neuron‐specific enolase with an associated decrement both enzymatic antioxidants including superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase catalase, glutathione‐s‐transferase, glutathione peroxidase, and nonenzymatic antioxidants, for example, reduced glutathione, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Luteolin treatment at 15 mg/kg body weight orally significantly offsets all these harmful alterations and thus maintained normalcy in cells. Besides, the treatment with luteolin was proposed to effectively negate benzo‐a‐pyrene‐induced enhanced regulation of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression, nuclear factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB), and cytochrome P450 1A1 was exposed by the evaluation of protein expression by Western bolt method (Han et al, ; Kasala, Bodduluru, Barua, & Gogoi, ; Yan, Wei, Song, Jia, & Zhang, )).…”
