<i>Schisandra Chinensis</i>Baillon regulates the gene expression of phase II antioxidant/detoxifying enzymes in hepatic damage induced rats

Abstract

Based on these results, we conclude that SCE exerts protective effects against t-BHP induced oxidative hepatic damage through the reduction of neutrophil infiltration, swelling of liver cells, and necrosis. In addition, SCE regulates the gene expression of phase II antioxidant/detoxifying enzymes independent of hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity.
