AMELIORATIVE ROLE OF Vernonia cinerea IN CARBON TETRACHLORIDE INDUCED HEPATIC DYSFUNCTION IN RATS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ameliorative activity of herbal powder prepared from Veronia cinerea leaves on CCl(4) (0.2ml/kg body wt. intraperitoneally (ip) and liquid paraffin (0.2 ml / kg body wt:ip) induced hepatotoxicity was studied in rats. The liver marker enzymes namely alanine transmainase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were decreased in 10% w/v liver homogenates of hepatotoxicity induced rats. The results of both post treated and pre treated groups suggest the hepatoprotective activity of Veronia cinerea in CCl(4) induced rats.

The present work examines the protective mechanisms of methanol extract of Oldenlandia umbellata (MEOU) in carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. Rats were treated with carbon tetrachloride at the dose of 1 ml/kg body weight intraperitonially once in every 72 hrs for 16 days. The hepatoprotective activity of methanol extract of Oldenlandia umbellata was evaluated by measuring levels of serum ma...

Oxidizing agents play a major role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Pistacia vera (P. vera), contains many antioxidant substances including coenzyme 10, vitamin E and beta-carotene. The current study was designed to evaluate the probable effects of P. vera on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in male rats. Frothy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups inc...
