Abstract
We have investigated the effect of shilajit on lipid peroxidation and glutathione content in rat liver homogenate. It inhibited lipid peroxi dation induced by cumene hydroperoxide and ADP/Fe++ complex in a dose dependent manner. It also reduced the rate of oxidation of reduced glu tathione content and inhibited ongoing lipid peroxidation, induced by these agents immediately after its addition to the incubation system.
