Exploring the Protective Role of Water Extract of Spirulina platensis on Flutamide-Induced Lipid Peroxidation Using 4-Hydroxy Nonenal and Nitric Oxide as Model Markers

This in vitro study was designed with an aim to evaluate free radical scavenging activity of water extract of Spirulina platensis on flutamide-induced lipid peroxidation using 4-hydroxy nonenal and nitric oxide as model markers. In this study goat liver has been used as liver source. The results suggest that flutamide could induce lipid peroxidation to a significant extent and it was also found that water extract of the Spirulina platensis has the ability to suppress the flutamide-induced toxicity.
