Abstract

AbstractObjective: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate protective effects of walnut samples on CClMethods: Walnut fruits were extracted and then subjected to vitamin and flavonoid analyses. The extracts obtained were injected intraperitoneally every other day to Wistar male rats given carbon tetrachloride (CClResults: Given the results achieved, it was found that the levels of fatty acids increased in the brain and kidney tissues after CClConclusion: Our data indicates that walnut extract has protective effects against LPO formation in the brain, kidney and liver tissues.
