Various oxidative stress parameter, antioxidant level and micro nutrients were analyses in hepatic and hepatic renal organ of mice. Methods: Mice exposed arsenic (sodium arsenate 5 mg/kg body weight p.o. for 45 days) caused a significant increases oxidative stress in hepatic and renal tissue as compared to controls group. Results: Abnormal levels of arsenic in hepatic and renal tissue increased the levels of ROS, LPO, and decreased the levels of GSH with SOD, CAT, and GPx activities in the hepatic and renal tissue of mice as compared to controls. Co-treatment of arsenic with piperine (1.5 mg/kg body weight p.o. for 45 days) decreased the levels of ROS, LPO, and increased the level of GSH, also increased SOD, CAT, and GPx activity and showed improvements in hepatic and renal tissue of mice as compared to arsenic-treated groups. Conclusion: Our results proved that piperine worked as antioxidant, anti- inflammatory in nature.Hepatic toxicityrenal toxicityPiperineJournal ArticleIndiaDepartment of Biochemistry, Government Medical College Badaun - 243601 (UP), India.Department of Pharmacology, King George Medical University, Lucknow - 226 003 (UP), India.
