Therapeutic effects of melatonin and quercetin on carbon tetrachloride-induced cardiac damage in rats

Abstract

Aim: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a potent, lipid-soluble toxic agent and produces peroxidative degeneration in many tissues. In this study, antioxidative effects of melatonin and quercetin were evaluated by histological and biochemical methods in CCl4-induced cardiac damage.
