Catechin protects against genotoxicity by modulating CYPOR and mEH enzymes.
Genotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis may be the plausible mechanisms behind benzo(a)pyrene-induced toxicity.
Role of catechin hydrate in suppressing histopathological changes induced by benzo(a)pyrene.
Catechin hydrate increased activities of tissue anti-oxidant armory (SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, GST, QR and GSH).
