abstract = "The effects of essential oils isolated from mature fruits of Athamanta turbith ssp. hungarica (Borbás) Tutin
and A. turbith ssp. haynaldii (Borbás & Uechtr.) Tutin (Umbelliferae) on some liver biochemical parameters
in mice intoxicated with carbon tetrachloride were investigated. Pretreatment with both essential oils extenuated
the effects caused by carbon tetrachloride. In order to investigate in vitro antioxidant properties of the
oils, three methods were applied: scavenging of both 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and OH radicals,
as well as a test of inhibition of Fe2+/ascorbic-induced lipid peroxidation. Investigated essential oils exhibited
modest antioxidant capacity. Therefore, their infl uence on biochemical parameters in intoxicated animals might
be linked to the inhibition of enzymes (cytochrome P450 2E1) involved in metabolic activation of halomethanes.",
