Abstract
The oral and intraperitoneal effects of fig milk latex on lipid peroxidation and CCl 4-induced lipid peroxidation in liver homogenates of female rats were investigated. Oral treatment had no effect, while i.p. administration produced a significant increase in hepatic lipid peroxidation. When the latex was given before CCl 4 treatment; it produced no protective effect against CCl 4-induced hepatotoxicity. Addition of the latex to the incubation mixture produced a dose-dependent increase in lipid autoxidation, while the chloroform and ether extracts of the latex, as well as heated latex, had no effect on hepatic lipid autoxidation.
