(A) Effect of BFPD on superoxide dismutase concentration of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, p < 0.05 when compared across the group. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg). (B) Effect of BFPD on catalase concentration of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, *=p < 0.05 when control was compared to the HgCl2 group and when control was compared to the Silymarin group. (C) Effect of BFPD on glutathione peroxidase concentration of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one way ANOVA, *=p < 0.05 when control was compared to HgCl2 group, and when Hgcl2 was compared to 1000 mg BFPD group. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg). HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg). (D) Effect of BFPD on malondialdehyde concentration of Wistar rats. n = 5, mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, p < 0.05 when compared across the group. HgCl2 = Mercury chloride (5 mg/kg), BFPD = n-Butanol fraction of Phoenix dactylifera (500 mg/kg; 1000 mg/kg), Syl = silymarin (100 mg/kg)
