The purpose of the current study was the assessment of possible protective effects of CH against oxidative damage in the serum, liver, brain, and pancreas of streptozotocin (STZ)- induced diabetic rats. In the present study, the rats were divided into the following groups of 8 animals each: control, untreated diabetic, 3 CH (20, 40, 80 mg/kg/day)-treated diabetic groups. To find out the modulations of cellular antioxidant defense systems, malondialdehyde (MDA) level and antioxidant enzymes including glutathione-S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities were determined in the serum, liver, brain, and pancreas. STZ caused an elevation of glucose, MDA, TG, TC, LDL-C and with reduction of HDL-C, total protein, SOD, CAT, and GST in the serum, liver, brain, and pancreas (p p < 0.05). The current study offers that CH may be recovered diabetes and its complications by modification of oxidative stress.", pages = "388-393", itemtype = "ARTICLE", parent_itemid = "infobike://cndscipub/cjpp", issn = "0008-4212", publishercode ="cndscipub", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cndscipub/cjpp/2016/00000094/00000004/art00006", doi = "doi:10.1139/cjpp-2014-0412", keyword = "foie, brain, pancréas, indices oxydatifs, rat, liver, diabète, sérum, streptozotocine, chrysine, diabetes, streptozotocin, cerveau, pancreas, oxidative indices, chrysin, serum" }
