This article has been removed at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). : this article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief as the authors have plagiarized a paper that had already appeared in "Therapeutic effects of Moringa oleifera on arsenic-induced toxicity in rats, Richa Gupta, Gurusamy M. Kannan, Mamta Sharma, Swaran J. S. Flora, Environm. Toxicol. Pharmacol. 20 (2005) 456-464". One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
