Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess ginger's ability to reduce the toxic effects of chromate in male Albino Wistar rats.
- Five groups of rats were tested, with variations in diet (ginger vs. control) and doses of potassium dichromate to evaluate its toxicity.
- Results showed that ginger significantly mitigated the harmful effects of chromate, including oxidative stress and damage to blood, kidneys, and liver, highlighting ginger's potential as a protective antioxidant.
