Protective effects of Sida veronicaefolia against ethanol induced hepatotoxicity in experimental animals
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 significant hepatoprotective effect not only by decreasing serum transaminase (SGPT & SGOT), alkaline phosphate and total bilirubin, but also significantly increased the levels of total protein. The effects of EESV and AESV were comparable with standard drug silymarin.
