ABSTRACT:

This in vitro study was designed with an aim to evaluate free radical scavenging activity of water extract of Spirulina platensis on flutamide-induced lipid peroxidation using 4-hydroxy nonenal and nitric oxide as model markers. In this study goat liver has been used as liver source. The results suggest that flutamide could induce lipid peroxidation to a significant extent and it was also found that water extract of the Spirulina platensis has the ability to suppress the flutamide-induced toxicity.

KEYWORDS:

Flutamide, Spirulina platensis, lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, nitric oxide.
