Plant products play a crucial role in the hepatoprotection through its antioxidants property. Therefore, search for modern medicine of plant origin with this property has become a central focus on hepatoprotection today. This study investigated to search a new hepatoprotective agent from natural sources, the methanol extract of nutitional plant, Daucus carota leaves was tested against liver dam...

Modern medicine, even in the modern era, lacks effective medications in its armamentarium which could be useful to treat or prevent hepatic ailments. However, Indian Ayurvedic system claims to have many indigenous plants and herbal preparations which provide therapeutic benefit in the treatment of liver diseases. One of such herbal preparations claiming to be of benefit in liver diseases is Sar...

The study was designed to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of different solvent extracts (hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol) of Enantia chlorantha stem bark in acute experimental liver injury induced by acetaminophen. The effects observed were compared with a known hepatoprotective agent, silymarin (100 mg/kg p.o.). Preliminary phytochemical tests and acute toxicity study wer...

The present study aims to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of ethanol extract of Symplocos racemosa (EESR) bark on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic damage in rats. CCl4 with olive oil (1 : 1) (0.2 ml/kg, i.p.) was administered for ten days to induce hepatotoxicity. EESR (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) and silymarin (100 mg/kg p.o.) were administered concomitantly for fourteen days. T...

Previous findings have demonstrated that β-sitosterol (BSS), an active component of Cistanches Herba, protected against oxidant injury in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and in rat hearts by enhancing mitochondrial glutathione redox cycling, possibly through the intermediacy of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. We therefore hypothesized that BSS pretreatment can also confer tissue protectio...

Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient human disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which affects the lungs, making pulmonary most common presentation. Herbal medicine began to be developed as hepatoprotection. The hepatoprotection effects of Plantago major extract on serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), liver tissue Malondialdehyde (MDA), and histopathological changes were evaluated in r...

Phyllanthus emblica L. (amla) has been used in Ayurveda as a potent rasayan for treatment of hepatic disorders. Most of the pharmacological studies, however, are largely focused on PE fruit, while the rest of the parts of PE, particularly, bark, remain underinvestigated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of Phyllanthus emblica bark (PEE) in e...
