Abstract
Ellagic acid, a plant polyphenol, showed protective effect on isolated rat hepatocytes against destruction due to lipid peroxide formation induced by t-butyl hydroperoxide in vitro. Ellagic acid inhibited the generation of superoxide anions and hydroxyl radicals both in enzymic and non enzymic systems, thus providing protection against oxidative damage.
