Background: Syzygium cumini (locally known as Kalo Jam) seed powder is being used folk medicine in various diseases since unknown times Bangladesh. However, data on the systematic studies human subjects are rare. Objective: To determine effect of hepatic function-related enzymes alcoholic transport laborers. Methods: Here, we investigated effects oral administration hepaticfunction markers that included activities Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate (AST) renal-function such creatinine urea along with lipid profile, blood pressure body mass index (BMI) upon chronic volunteers. Results: The levels serum ALT, AST GGT decreased, respectively, by 15.0, 8.5 23.0% after S. subjects. were not altered significantly. In contrast, non-alcoholic control less prominent than those found Blood decreased only 5-4 mmHg, while BMI was either or groups. Furthermore, there significant reduction TC (by 10%) LDL-C >20%) elevation HDL-C 11%) cumini-prescribed also subjects, but rate statistically significant. Conclusions: Our results suggest extract ameliorated GGT, ALT atherosclerotic parameters without having a side kidney functions, indicated unaltered any BP same Thus, alcohol drinkers can be advised to intake protect against oxidative damage.
