چکیده
The liver is one of the major and largest organ of the body. It plays an important role in metabolizing carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and it also stores vitamins. 1 It is involved in almost all the biochemical pathways of growth, defense against disease, nutrient supply, energy provision and reproduction. 2 The liver is at a high risk of getting diseased by various foreign compounds because all these foreign compounds are eliminated by the liver. 3,4 Plant materials are widely used to treat liver diseases and are often investigated for their protective and regenerative action on the damaged liver. 5
