Therapeutic potential of salvigenin to combat atrazine induced liver toxicity in rats via regulating Nrf-2/Keap-1 and NF-κB pathway.

Atrazine (ATR) is the second most extensively used herbicide which adversely affects the body organs including liver. Salvigenin (SGN) is a flavonoid which demonstrates a wide range of biological and pharmacological abilities. This study was planned to assess the protective ability of SGN to avert ATR induced liver damage in rats.
