Cirrhosis was induced in rats by ligation of the common bile duct or carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) chronic intoxication and treated with pirfenidone or diphenyleneiodonium (a potent known antioxidant) for the last two weeks for bile duct ligation model or for the last three weeks for CCl (4) chronic intoxication.
Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression were importantly down-regulated where nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) binding activity also decreased with pirfenidone treatment.

MP-I was subjected to investigate the protective effect on carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) induced liver damage in male Kunming mice.
Pharmacological studies revealed that MP-I could decrease serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and hepatic malondialdehyde aldehydes (MDA) levels, increase the hepatic total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity, and improve hepatic damage in the CCl (4) induced liver injury in mice in a dose-dependent manner.

After 30 days, all animals were sacrificed, and blood and liver were collected to evaluate lipid peroxidation level (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS] assay), protein oxidative level (carbonyl assay), and catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities.

The changes in biochemical markers, such as the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum and superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver were determined.

To study the effects of schisandrin B and sesamin mixture on carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4))-induced hepatic oxidative stress in male Sprague-Dawley rats.
The hepatic superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities of rats in the low dose and high dose groups were increased significantly compared with those in the CCl (4) group.

Thereafter, changes in serum glucose level, liver function tests, hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) content, hepatic reduced glutathione (GSH) content, hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level were evaluated.

Antioxidant status in both the liver and kidney tissues were estimated by determining the activities of the antioxidative enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST); as well as by determining the levels of thiobarbutaric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and reduced glutathione (GSH).

Interestingly, the VI-28 treatment increased red cell CuZn-superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD) levels, and these levels correlated positively with the degree of tissue protection afforded by long-term VI-28 treatment in rats.

18476390 Anilakumar KR, Krishna KR, Chandramohan G, Khanum F, Bawa AS: Bees wax polyphenols as suppressor of CC1--induced oxidative stress in rats. BMC Pharmacol. 2005 Jan 31;5:2.

As the polyphenols are thought to protect cell constituents against oxidative damage through scavenging of free radicals, the present work was undertaken to evaluate the effects of polyphenols extracted from bees wax on the oxidative stress induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rats.
The results showed a significant decrease in hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities viz. catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a significant increase in glutathione S-transferase (GST) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) by CCl4, probably due to the peroxidative effects.
