Myrica rubra Extracts Protect the Liver from CCl4-Induced Damage
The relationship between the expression of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels (VDACs) and the protective effects of Myrica rubra Sieb. Et Zucc fruit extract (MCE) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced liver damage was investigated. Pretreatment with 50 mg kg(-1), 150 mg kg(-1) or 450 mg kg(-1) MCE significantly blocked the CCl(4)-induced increase in both serum aspartate amin...
متن کاملAntioxidant Potential of Naringenin Helps to Protect Liver Tissue from Streptozotocin-Induced Damage
Background: Naringenin is a bioactive flavonoid found in grapes and citrus fruits including tangelo, blood orange, lemons, and tangerines. The aims of this study were to investigate the ability of naringenin to scavenge free radicals and determine its ability to protect animals from streptozotocin (STZ) -induced liver damage. Methods: The free radical-scavenging activity of naringenin was ev...
متن کاملAnti-Oxidant and Hepatoprotective Effects of Senecio biafrae on CCl4-induced Liver Damage in Rats
Background: The present study was performed to explore whether the aqueous extract of Senecio biafrae (S. biafrae) roots provide any in vivo protective activity against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in male albino rats. Methods: Rats (150-200 grams) were grouped into five groups (A-E) of six rats each and were treated orally for twelve days with 72 hourly administration ...
متن کاملTurmeric extract and its active compound, curcumin, protect against chronic CCl4-induced liver damage by enhancing antioxidation
BACKGROUND Curcumin, a major active component of turmeric, has previously been reported to alleviate liver damage. Here, we investigated the mechanism by which turmeric and curcumin protect the liver against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced injury in rats. We hypothesized that turmeric extract and curcumin protect the liver from CCl4-induced liver injury by reducing oxidative stress, inhibit...
متن کاملFucoidan partly prevents CCl4-induced liver fibrosis
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from brown algae, has a wide range of biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor activities. In the present study, we investigated the effects of fucoidan on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Administration of fucoidan reduced CCl4-induced acute and chronic liver failure. Hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 was also atten...
