The aim of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content, radical scavenging activity by DPPH...

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is often used to produce experimental hypothyroidism. In general, PTU generates hepatotoxicity, albeit with dissimilar incidence rates of hepatotoxicity. This study examined the hepatoprotective effects Saussurea lappa root ethanol extract on experimentally induced hepatotoxicity in female rats. For this study, 25 adult albino rats were placed into five equal groups: cont...
