Abstract
I'hc levels ot’enzymK ,',nd non onzyinic anlioxiilimis were dcicninned in EhrlichA l ymph', ni : .Axciic (hl.Aj transplanted Swiss albino mice
treated witli the protein traction of Cyiunion diii:.Un: (edpt). LLA induced mice showed sipiiilieant decrease in the level of enzymic
antioxidants like catalase (73.43 to 55.03), siipero.xide disimiitise (4.49 to2.47) and elutathionc pero.xitlase (4K.4K to 36.98) in units/mg protein
and non enzyrnie anlioxidtint like vitamin A (7.18 to 3,. \ iiainiii E (8.55 to 3.18) in pg.g pi olein and reduced glutathione (2.38 to 1.65) in
nnioles/g protein which indicated the production of free riulicals in the liver. Arlmimsiralion of protein fraction to the ELA induced mice
showed enhanced level of enzymic antioxidants (69. i S, -1.1 1 and 49.39 units.hiig protein) ;iiui non enzymic antioxidants (5.63, 5.20 pg,/g protein
and 3.43 nmole.s g protein) respeelisely w hich proseil their protective action against the iV. e radical liamage caused by l-.k.A tumor cells and
