Aloe vera has an antimicrobial effect more than nerium oleander. Xanthine oxidase activity of both control tissue and liver tissue treated with cyclosporin and then, the effect of aloe vera and nerium oleander on this enzyme activity were investigated. Xanthine oxidase activity in control liver tissue was decreased by aloe vera whereas nerium oleander was slightly increased it. It was shown that xanthine oxidase activity in liver tissue was inhibited by cyclosporine but, the inhibition was not prevented by aloe vera and nerium oleander. </span> </span> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Gazi University}
