Biochemical and Histopathological Studies of Key Tissues in Healthy Male Wistar Rats Fed on African Yam Bean Seed and Tuber Meals

Figure 2

Effect of AYB seed and tuber meals on the levels of (a) lipid peroxidation (LPO), total protein, and superoxide dismutase; (b) reduced glutathione (GSH) and catalase in the kidney of healthy Wistar rats 72 h after administration. All values are expressed as Mean ± SD (n = 6). Means followed by the same letters are not significantly different (). SOD (unit mg⁻¹ protein), GSH (mmoles min⁻¹ mg⁻¹protein), LPO (unit mg⁻¹protein), catalase (mmoles min⁻¹ mg⁻¹protein), total protein (mg⁻¹ protein).
