- Abstract
The article presents a study on the use of selenium as an antioxidant in activating the antioxidant system of wheat bran to protect fischer-344 rats from diquat-induced oxidative stress. The study sample were 5-week-old male Fischer-344 rats, which can be found in Tokyo, Japan. The study utilizes biochemical and statistical analyses. It also revealed the protective effects of wheat bran against diquat (DQ) hepatotoxicity and the effect of wheat bran on the antioxidant system in rat liver.
