Protective Role of Quercetin on Polychlorinated Biphenyls (Aroclor‐1254) Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Liver of Adult Male Rats

The present study aims to investigate the protective effect of quercetin against Aroclor‐1254–induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Male Wistar rats were grouped into Group I control received vehicle (corn oil; 1 mL/kg bwt); Group II quercetin alone (50 mg/kg bwt/day orally); Group III Aroclor‐1254 (2 mg/kg bwt/day intraperitoneally); Group IV Aroclor‐1254 + quercetin treated for 30 days. The Aroclor‐1254 treatment caused significant alteration in the...
