beta-carotene and Brain-Injuries

Brain damage is a major complication of fulminant hepatic failure. d-Galactosamine (d-GalN)-induced liver toxicity causes damage to brain. The effects of vitamins and selenium mixture against d-GalN stimulated brain injury were investigated in this study. Sprague-Dawley female rats aged 2.0-2.5 months were used for the study. The rats were divided into four categories. A 0.9% NaCl solution was intraperitoneally given to the experimental rats in the first group. Using gavage technique, the second group of animals were subjected to a formulation consisting of 100 mg·kg
