Figure 3: Effect of atrazine and ginger on intracellular ferric reducing/ antioxidant power (FRAP) in hepatocytes of mice. Animals were killed 14 days after exposure to: control (isotonic solution), ginger (120 mg/kg), atrazine (78.25 mg/kg), and ginger (120 mg/kg) plus atrazine (78.25 mg/kg). Values expressed are mean ± SE of 5-6 separate animals in each group. FRAP was determined by measuring the absorbance at 593 nm due to the formation of a blue colored FeII-tripyridyltriazine compound from the colourless oxidized FeIII form by the action of electron donating antioxidants. About 20 µl liver homogenate was used (see Section 2.7). aSignificantly different from control group P < 0.05. bSignificantly different from atrazine group P < 0.05.
