ALLEVIATION OF ARSENIC INDUCED LUNG TOXICITY BY OCIMUM SANCTUM IN MURINE MODEL
Arsenic is a well known pulmonary irritant and has been found associated with lung cancer in smelter workers exposed to arsenic via inhalation. The recent findings suggest the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated during arsenic metabolism in inducing arsenic toxicity. Thus present work was designed to establish a correlation between arsenic induced oxidative stress, histopatholo...
