Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and protective potential of gallic acid against paraquat-induced liver toxicity in male rats.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveAs a herbicide, paraquat is a toxic agent that has devastating effects on human health. Gallic acid, on the other hand, is a natural compound that its anti-oxidant values have been reported in previous studies. Given these, this study was designed to evaluate whether gallic acid could reduce the toxic effects of paraquat in the liver of rats. MATERIALS AND
methodsSix groups of rats were considered in this study. Group 1 (control group), group 2 (25 mg/kg of paraquat), group 3 (paraquat-plus-silymarin), and groups 4, 5, and 6 (paraquat together with gallic acid at the doses of 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg, respectively). After treatment, biochemical, oxidative, and histopathological parameters were evaluated in the rats.
resultsWe found that as compared to the control group, while paraquat reduced the hepatic levels of anti-oxidative compounds such as vitamin C (p<0.001), superoxide dismutase (SOD) (p<0.001), and catalase (CAT) (p<0.001), the toxic agent increased the serum levels of protein carbonyl (PC) (p<0.001), malondialdehyde (MDA) (p<0.05), and IL-1β (p<0.001). Paraquat also increased (p<0.05) both serum lipid profile and liver-associated markers in the rats. Nevertheless, gallic acid not only enhanced (p<0.05) the activity of vitamin C, SOD, and CAT but also remarkably reduced (p<0.05) the serum lipid profile, as well as the oxidative and inflammatory markers in the paraquat-treated rats. Gallic acid had also ameliorating effects on the damaged morphology of hepatocytes upon paraquat treatment.
conclusionThe results of this study suggested that gallic acid possesses reinforcing effects on the antioxidant defense system and could be administered to reduce the toxicity of paraquat.
