(a) Activities of Citric acid cycle enzymes in liver of control and experimental animals. Units: ICDH—nmol of -ketoglutarate liberated/min/mg protein, -KDH— mol of ferrocyanide liberated/min/mg protein, SDH— mol of succinate oxidized/min/mg protein, MDH—nmol of NADH oxidized/min/mg protein. Values are expressed as mean SD for six animals. “a”—Group II versus Group I, “b”—Group III and IV versus Group II, “c”—Group IV versus Group III, “d”—Group V versus Group I. The symbol * represents the statistical significance at , NS—Nonsignificant. (b) Activities of Citric acid cycle enzymes in liver of control and experimental animals.
