Figure 3

Subacute effect of Lavandula stoechas essential oils on acute aloxan-induced changes in liver and kidney CAT (A and B), Total SOD, Cu/Zn-SOD, Mn-SOD and Fe-SOD (C and D). Animals were treated during 15 days with Lavandula stoechas essential oils (50 mg/kg b.w., i.p.) or vehicle (NaCl 0.9%) sevan days after diabetic induction with alloxan at 220 mg/kg b.w.. Assays were carried out in triplicate. HC: Healthy Control; DC: Diabetic Control; H + EO: Healthy + Essential Oils; D + EO: Diabetic + Essential Oils. “a”: p < 0.05 compared to “Healthy Control” group and “b”: p < 0.05 compared to “Diabetic Control” group.
