Acetaminophen (APAP) is the leading worldwide cause of drug overdose and acute liver failure (ALF). Single overdose ingestion and therapeutic misadventure may cause hepatotoxicity. Several factors, such as concomitant alcohol use or abuse, concurrent medications, genetic factors, and nutritional status, can influence the susceptibility and severity of APAP hepatotoxicity. Early manifestations o...

Objectives-The present study was designed 1. To achieved maximum yield of bioactive extract from the plant through extraction process. 2. investigated phytochemicals constituents. 3. determined pharmacological screening quercetin against hepatotoxicity. Methods- Crude extracts Moringa oleifera leaves were prepared using various solvents petroleum ether, chloroform, ethanol, methanol in successi...

the present study was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of methanolic leaf extract of caesalpinia bonduc (l.) on gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats . a control group (saline, group i, n = 6) was compared with rats administrated 80 mg/kg gentamicin, once daily for 7 days (groups ii, iii and iv). the effect of methanolic leaf extract of caesalpinia bonduc (grou...

The hepatoprotective properties of Alchornea cordifolia, a medicinal plant was studied in hepatotoxicity induced animal model with high dose paracetamol or carbon tetrachloride. Knowing that antituberculosis drugs also represent risk factor for hepatotoxicity, could A. cordifolia play key role to limit their hepatotoxicity? objective this study assess the histological changes rat livers and evo...

Oxidative stress, which is characterized by disruption of the oxidant/antioxidant balance, causes pathological processes, including toxicities induced certain mycotoxins. The present study was designed to investigate effects resveratrol on sirtuin deacetylases (SIRT2 and SIRT3), nitric oxide (NO), reduced glutathione (GSH) malondialdehyde (MDA) in fumonisin B1-induced hepatotoxicity. Regarding ...

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 l...

In the present study, an attempt was made to develop galactosylated albumin nanoparticles of Cimetidine for treatment of Acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity. By developing the galactosylated nanoparticulated delivery of Cimetidine the required action of drug at the target site i.e at liver can be provided. The advantage of targeting helps to reduce the systemic side effects which may ...
