Effect of methanol extract of T. conophorum seeds on lipid peroxidation levels in CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats after 48 h of intoxication. Values are Mean ± SEM, n = 5 rats in each group. p < 0.05, a as compared with the normal control group; b as compared with the CCl4 only (group IIB), CCl4, Carbon tetrachloride, MDA- malondialdehyde. Group IB (control) received distilled water and olive oil (i.p), group IIB rats were intoxicated with CCl4 in olive oil (600 mg/kg, i.p.) only on the 8th day, while groups IIIB, IVB and VB were given 100 mg/kg of silymarin, 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg of methanol extract, respectively for 7 days, thereafter intoxicated with CCl4 on the 8th day. Groups VIB and VIIB were intoxicated with CCl4 on the 8th day and administered 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg of methanol extract of T. conophorum seeds at 1 h, 6 h, 12 h, 18 h and 24 h. Fasting blood samples were collected after the last administration of the extract at 48 h of intoxication with CCl4
