Carvone suppresses oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver of immobilised rats

Objective The investigation of the effect of carvone (a natural monoterpene) on liver damage caused by chronic immobilisation.Methods Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, carvone, stress, and stress-carvone. To induce stress, rats were placed in a restrainer (6 h/21 day) and carvone was treated by gavage at a dose of 20 mg/kg.Results Alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase activities...
