In this study, the possible protective effect of red radish containing total phenolic content and antioxidantcomponents on histopathological and immuno histochemical active caspase-3, TNF-α and Iba-1, serum ALT activity,triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, liver malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels wereevaluated in CCl4 induced liver injury in Wistar rats. The rats were randomly divided into six groups (n= 12 to eachgroup). The first group was used as a control which was given only intraperitoneal 0.9% NaCl (0.2 mL / kg / bw);while fermented red radish (FRR) at a dose of 250 mg/kg or 500 mg/kg was given daily by intragastric administrationto group II and group III, respectively for seven consecutive days. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) diluted 1:1 ratio in cornoil and was given (1.5 mL/kg) to the rats in group IV by intraperitoneal injection. Group V and VI received FRR at adose of 250 mg/kg or 500 mg/kg, respectively for seven consecutive days prior to CCl4 injection. Pretreatment withFRR at 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg followed by CCl4 exposure had no ameliorative effect on the histopathologicalchanges in the liver. It is thought that FRR application has a partial antioxidative effect by decreasing the biochemicaland lipid peroxidation levels in the control group but this is not effective in the treatment of damage to liver tissue. Inconclusion, it has been concluded that new investigations should be done to determine the healing effects of red radishon fermented tissues using different doses to give the best results without any side effects.
