Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Effects of Tranilast against Thioacetamide-Induced Liver Fibrosis in Rats
The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential antioxidant and Hepatoprotective activities of tranilast against TAA-induced liver fibrosis in rats. Methods: Liver fibrosis was induced in rats by intra peritoneal injection of TAA (200 mg/kg) for 6 weeks. Tranilast was administered oral...
