Abstract:
Nicotine has been reported to induce oxidative stress by producing the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). In vitro studies showed that Red grape extract has significant antioxidant activity and can inhibit oxidation. Pathogen free, Wistar strain male albino rats were used in the present study, rats were divided into 4 groups of six rats in each group and treated as follows: Group I. Normal Control (NC) (Control rats received 0.9% saline). Group II. Nicotine treated (Nt) (at a dose of 0.6 mg/ kg body weight by subcutaneous injection for a period of 2 months)
Keywords:
Nicotine, Red Grape extract, SDH, MDH, ICDH and LDH, Brain and Male albino rat.
