DNA fragmentation pattern in liver cells of rats after different treatments.  Slide (1): control group with no significant of DNA damage. Slide (2 and 3): P. ovata seed carbohydrates and fixed oil groups with non significant DNA damage. Slide (4): ketoprofen group with remarkable percent of DNA damage. Slides (5, 6, and 7): ketoprofen rats treated with P. ovata seed carbohydrates, P. ovata seed oil, and silymarin reference drug respectively, show lesser percent of DNA damage relative to ketoprofen group. Slides (8, 9, and 10): self recovery groups for 1 week, 2 weeks, and 3 weeks respectively with lesser percent of DNA damage relative to ketoprofen group. It is important to note that, P. ovata seed carbohydrates showing the most significant reduction in the percent of DNA damage
