Hepatic status and lipid peroxidation in rats fed Bambara groundnut (V. subterranean) and Pigeon Pea (Cajanus cajan).

The liver function status and lipid peroxidation level were investigated in rats fed with Bambara groundnut (Voanzela subterranean) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) supplemented diets. The results showed a significant decrease (P >0.05) in serum aspartate amino transferase (AST), serum alkaline amino transferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase activities. There was a marginal reduction in lipid…
