Oral administration of spice principles, curcumin from turmeric (30 mg/kg body weight) or eugenol from cloves (100 mg/kg body weight), for 10 days lowered the liver and serum lipid peroxide levels, serum ALAT, ASAT and LDH, enhanced by i.p. injection of iron.

RS also caused a generalized increase in enzyme activity and Os, eugenol or Tm effectively lowered the RS-induced elevations in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase.

Moreover, the level of peroxidative damage and the specific activities of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and methylglyoxalase I (Gly I) were observed in the liver of mice treated with eugenol for seven days in comparison to untreated mice.

Numerous root canals filling materials are available in the field of dentistry, based on various formulas that contain a variety of different and partly mutagenic components, such as epoxy resin sealers, Ca (OH) 2-based materials, and zinc oxide-eugenol cements.

The results showed that phenyl propanoid compounds including eugenol and methyl eugenol were the major constituents of EO.
EO suppressed the high serum lipid profile and atherogenic index as well as serum lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase MB subunit without significant effect on high serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase in rats fed with HC diet.

Toxicity was detected by assessing lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, and oxidative stress was determined by analysis of glutathione (GSH) levels.

The aim of this study was to investigate the remote organ toxicity and connective tissue reaction of two new root canal sealers ("GuttaFlow ((R))" and "EndoREZ ((R))") and to compare them with zinc oxide eugenol sealer using biochemical and histopathological parameters.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were also assayed in serum samples.

We were interested in the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity caused by methyleugenol and other alkenylbenzene compounds: safrole (a known hepatocarcinogen), eugenol, and isoeugenol.
Cytotoxicity was determined by measuring lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, while genotoxicity was determined by using the unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay.

Among phenolic antioxidants, isoeugenol (IG) was found to be more active against cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in vero cells as well as in rat renal cortical slices than eugenol (EG) and dehydrozingerone (DZ).
