    Chronic administration of diazepam (DZP) caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and a decrease in glutathione (GSH) content. DZP also markedly lowered Ca 2+ ATPase activity. Treatment with Se plus vitamin E reduced MDA levels and increased GSH content. Our results suggest that, increased lipid peroxidation together with alteration in Ca 2+ -ATPase activity may play a role in DZP induced hepat- ic injury and Se plus vitamin E treatment may contribute to the attenuation of DZP induced hepatotoxi- city
