Protective Action of Antioxidants on Hepatic Damage Induced by Griseofulvin by M. del C. Martinez, S. G. Afonso, A. M. Buzaleh, A. Batlle

“…Coadministration of Gris with Tx, Asc, and its combination, or Mel mainly affected heme biosynthetic pathway, resulting in a decrease in ALA-S activity which was increased by Gris, while the tested polyphenols exerted a protective effect on oxidative stress, decreasing lipid peroxidation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes. In conclusion, antioxidant compounds can only protect partially against the liver damage induced by Gris, reducing oxidative stress or acting on heme regulation.…”
