Effects of thymoquinone on antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation and DT-diaphorase in different tissues of mice: a possible mechanism of action.

abstract：:The biochemical and quantitative cytochemical assays of the activity of uridine diphosphoglucose dehydrogenase (UDPG-D) have produced perplexing results. It is now shown that the perplexity may be due to the possibility that the coenzyme (NAD) required for UDPG-D activity, may be acting as a substrate for a second deh...
