SOD activity (7 days or 3 to 12 hours treatment)
The SOD activity was slightly less in the DAS group as compared to the control. The chalcone group also displayed lower SOD activity in half of the animal as compared to the control and DAS group. The other half shows SOD activity similar to the control group. The entire group showed comparatively lower SOD activity compared to the control (Fig-3a).
The control group showed SOD activity, and DAS at 3 hour showed SOD activity but 5 and 12 hours showed negligible SOD. DAS+Chalcone at 5 and 12 hour showed some activity but less than the control (Fig-3b).
