Ten equal groups (8 rats each) were treated as follows: group 1 kept as control group orally given 10ml / Kg, distilled water{u037E} Groups 2, 3 and 4 treated with combination of ethanol (3.7g / Kg, P.O.) and tramadol (20 mg / kg, i.p.), tramadol (20 mg / kg) and alcohol (3.7g / kg), respectively. Groups 5 and 6 given GSE (150 mg / kg) in concomitant with tramadol and alcohol or with silymarin (100 mg / kg), respectively. Groups 7 and 8 administered GSE or silymarin concomitant with tramadol. Groups 9 and 10 orally treated with GSE or silymarin concomitant with alcohol |
