In vitro antioxidant activity of VVPF, experimental protocol with animal group treatments, and organ weights. (A) ABTS scavenging activity, (B) ferric reducing power (C) experimental protocol with animal group treatments. (D) organ weight/body weight (b.w.) ratio. Systemic toxicity was induced by CCl4 intraperitoneal (IP) injection for 3 weeks (twice/week). Animals in the CCl4 + VVPF group were gavage-fed VVPF for 10 days following systemic toxicity induction. The study comprises three control groups of animals, the untreated animals (C group), those gavage-fed VVPF for 10 days (VVPF group), as well as, animals that were injected with the olive oil (vehicle of CCl4, V group) for 3 weeks (twice/week). Different letters indicate the significance at p < 0.05. Asc ascorbic acid, BHT butylated hydroxytoluene, IC50 50% inhibitory concentration.
