BACKGROUND Natural products with therapeutic properties such as plants, minerals, and animal products, for many years, were the main sources of drugs for the treatment of numerous diseases; hence selection of Lawsonia inermis L. (Henna) to study its hepatoprotective activity was considered. OBJECTIVES This was an attempt to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of L. inermis leaves' methanolic...

The present study is to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of the ethanol (EESV) and aqueous (AESV) extracts of leaves of Sida veronicaefolia, against ethanol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The hepatoprotective effects of EESV (500 mg/kg) and AESV (500 mg/kg) were estimated by liver function test and serum profile. The results revealed that both the extracts of selected plant produce signif...

Hepatoprotective activity of ethanol extract of Haldinia cordifolia against paracetamol induced hepatic damage in albino rats was observed. In the present study the effect of ethanol extract of Haldinia cordifolia on serum markers such as SGPT, SGOT, ALP and Serum total bilirubin, anti oxidant studies such as SOD, CAT and LPO and Histopathological studies have been studied to find out the possi...

Hepatoprotective effects of the lipid flower pollen extract (LEPK) in paracetamol intoxication in mice were shown. Normalisation of A1AT and LDH--biochemical indicators of necrotic changes in the hepatic cells, and high protection ultrastructural cell organelle such as mitochondrion substantially testifies to the hepatoprotective effect of investigated lipid flower pollen extract on the hepatic...

OBJECTIVE Recent studies show that free radicals are important mediators of hepatic injury induced by carbon tetrachloride. Allium (A.) paradoxum showed antioxidant and antihemolytic activities. This work was conduct to determine the possible protective effect of this plant against hepatotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subcutaneous injection of 3 ml/kg carbon tetrachloride diluted in olive oi...

The present study explores the hepatoprotective activity of various extracts of Ferula asafoetida, Momordica charantia Linn and Nardostachys jatamansi against experimental hepatotoxicity. Polyherbal suspensions were formulated using extracts showing significant activity and evaluated for both physicochemical and hepatoprotective activity in comparison with LIV-52 as standard. Petroleum ether (6...

background and objectives: acantholimon bracteatum (girard) boiss (plumbaginaceae) is used in variety of diseases including hepatic ailments in the west regions of iran. in the present study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract (me) of a. bracteatum on formaldehyde (fa) induced liver injury has been investigated in adult male mice. methods: fifty six adult male mice were divided...

Present study was carried out to investigate different extracts of Bauhinia purpurea (B.P) for its hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity. The different parts of Bauhinia purpurea were collected authenticated and were subjected to extraction using solvent alcohol. Healthy wistar albino rats (150-200g) of male sex were used for the in-vivo investigations. Liver damage was ...

The study was undertaken to investigate the hypolipidemic and hepatoprotective effects of the different fractions (Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and chloroform) of methanolic extract of Momordica charantia. The different fractions of extract were administered intraperitoneally as a single dose of 150 mg/kg body weight to alloxan induced diabetic rats and found to reduce blood lipid level (Tota...
