Determination of nitric oxide, catalase enzyme, glutathione peroxide, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in the blood for control, diseased control (cyclophosphamide 150 mg/kg), standard drug (Mesna 40 mg/kg)-treated and methanol extract of A. arvensis (MEOAA) (250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg)-treated group of rats. ( compared to the control group, compared to diseased control group; n = 4) (IL-6; interleukin-6, TNF-α; tumor necrosis factor-α).
