Role of propolis on biochemical parameters in kidney and heart tissues against L-NAME induced oxidative injury in rats.
RatChemical/toxinWistarMale
Model: Acute nitric oxide synthase inhibition with N-omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) causing oxidative injury in kidney and heart tissue
Propolis significantly changed catalase activity, malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in kidney and heart tissue relative to L-NAME alone, consistent with an influence on endothelial nitric oxide production.
