The antioxidant potential was evaluated by using hepatic tissue for SOD (superoxide dismutase), CAT (catalase), GSH (reduced glutathione), GPx (glutathione peroxidase), GR (glutathione reductase) and LPO (lipid peroxidation) alongwith the concomitant blood serum for AST &amp; ALT (aspartate and alanine transaminases), GGT (gamma glutamyl transpeptidase), ALP (alkaline phosphatase), total bilirubin and total protein contents. All the biochemical parameters were significantly  (p \u2264 0.001) altered by CCl4 (0.3 mL\/kg body weight\/twice a week, intra-peritoneally for  30 days). Simultaneously, oral treatment with plumieride (5, 10 and 20 mg\/kg body weight\/day for 30 days), restored all the parameters towards a normal level, remarkably. The histological findings of liver sections further corroborated the antioxidant potential of plumieride compared with standard drug-silymarin. In conclusion, plumieride consists of sugar molecules, which have alcoholic groups. Therefore, the alcoholic groups of sugar increase its antioxidant potential through intermolecular hydrogen bonding along with the thiol(SH) group of non-protein thiols and enzymes resulting in the restoration of the antioxidant system. Therefore, it might be considered a natural antioxidant against peroxidative damage in rats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox3040798","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,27]],"date-time":"2014-11-27T10:41:20Z","timestamp":1417084880000},"page":"798-813","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Antioxidant Potential of Plumieride against CCl4-Induced Peroxidative Damage in Rats"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Dharmendra","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies, Department of Zoology, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302 055, India"},{"name":"Department of Zoology, Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110 003, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priya","family":"Arya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110 003, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashutosh","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302 055, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ved","family":"Aggarwal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Dyal Singh College, University of Delhi, Lodhi Road, New Delhi 110 003, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mahabeer","family":"Dobhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302 055, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Radhey","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Advanced Studies, Department of Zoology, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur 302 055, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"243","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1742-7843.2009.00429.x","article-title":"Effects of embelin on lipid peroxidation and free radical scavenging activity against liver damage in rats","volume":"105","author":"Singh","year":"2009","journal-title":"Basic Clin.
