Materials and Methods: The study was conducted the after the institutional ethical clearance. The present study involved four groups of six animals each. The total antioxidants were measured in the serum, lever and kidney by phosphomolybdenum method. Also the serum glucose level was measured. Data was analyzed for the statistical significance using students t
