Protective Effect of Red Okra ( (L.) Moench) Pods against Sodium Nitrite-Induced Liver Injury in Mice.

Vegetables, drinking water, and preserved meats may contain sodium nitrite (NaNO), which causes liver disease by inducing oxidative stress. Phytochemicals are highly recommended as an alternative to synthetic drugs and affordable medicines to treat liver disease because they have fewer or no side effects. Therefore, this study aims to determine the antioxidant and hepatoprotective potential of red okra fruit ethanol extract against NaNO-induced liver damage.
