Patulin Induced Oxidative Stress Mediated Apoptotic Damage in Mice, and its Modulation by Green Tea Leaves.

Background: The present study demonstrates the antioxidant and hepatic protective effects of Green tea leaves (GTL).

Methods: The serum level of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase was analyzed. The liver antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GSH, lipid peroxidation and protein carbonyls, ROS content were estimated.
