“…Serum was analyzed for the following biochemical parameters: serum aspartate transaminase (AST) (Reitman & Frankel, 1957), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (Reitman & Frankel, 1957), alkaline phosphatas (Kind & King, 1954), total protein (Lowry et al, 1951), cholesterol (Wybenga & Pileggi, 1970), and triglyceride (Hawk et al, 1954). A 10% homogenate of the tissue was used for the assay of lipid peroxidation (LPO) (Devasagayam & Tarachand, 1987), superoxide dismutase (Marklund & Marklund, 1997), catalase (Sinha, 1972), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (Rotruck et al, 1973).…”
