The effects of fruit extract on catalase activity andlipid peroxidation in the heart and erythrocytes of rats followingchronic ethanol consumption

Chronic ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress in the heart and erythrocytes of rats.As Ziziphus jujuba fruit has been shown to have potent antioxidants, such flavonoids we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of aqueous fruit extracts from Z. jujuba eight maleWistar rats were randomly divided into the following groups: control The animals were treated orally for consecutive 8 weeks. At the end of experiment, catalase The results showed that the concentration of TBARS was significantly lower, and CAT activity higher in erythrocyte homogenates of ethanol-treated rats that were pretreated with fruit extract, compared with rats treated with ethanol alone.
