Studies on benefical effects of some antioxidant Vitamins (C and E) and Calcium phosphate supplementation to mice for recovery in ovarian steroidogenesis after sodium fluoride (NaF 5 mg/kg body weight) and arsenic trioxide (As2O3 0.5 mg/kg body weight) treatment were undertaken. The doses of toxicants were based on their LD50 value while those of the vitamms and calcium on previous work. All the biochemical parameters (protein, cholesterol, 3β and 17β HSD) were studied using standard methods.

Abstract


Studies on benefical effects of some antioxidant Vitamins (C and E) and Calcium phosphate supplementation to mice for recovery in ovarian steroidogenesis after sodium fluoride (NaF 5 mg/kg body weight) and arsenic trioxide (As2O3 0.5 mg/kg body weight) treatment were undertaken. The doses of toxicants were based on their LD50 value while those of the vitamms and calcium on previous work. All the biochemical parameters (protein, cholesterol, 3β and 17β HSD) were studied using standard methods.
