treatment of diseases with natural remedies is gaining popularity because of its fewer side effects.   a systemic and scientific investigation of aqueous extract of euphorbia tirucalli for its antioxidant and hepatoprotective potential against carbon-tetrachloride-induced hepatic damage in rats was carried out . antioxidant property was assessed by using reducing property, superoxide anion scav...

Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium, the fermented and dried leaves of Hydrangea macrophylla SER. var. thunbergii MAKINO, suppressed D-galactosamine-induced liver injury by 85.2% when added to the diet at 1% and fed to rats for fifteen days. The hepatoprotective effect is more potent than that of a milk thistle extract and turmeric powder. Some fractionated extracts showed hepatoprotective activity in the...

An aqueous extracts of stem and leaves of Boerhaavia Diffusa (Aq.EBD) and leaves of Anisochilus Carnosus (Aq.EAC) was studied for hepatoprotective, analgesic and antipyretic activity. Hepatotoxicity was introduced in Albino rats of either sex by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 (in olive oil). Tail immersion method and Hot plate method in mice were studied for analgesic activity, Yeast induced...

Zanthoxylum armatum DC (Rutaceae) is extensively used in indigenous system of medicine as a tonic, carminative, stomachic and anthelmintic. In the present study, the hepatoprotective activity of the leaves ethanolic extract of Z. armatum (EEZA) was evaluated in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg registered a significant decrease in the levels of serum glutam...

The ethanolic extract of the root of Vitis vinifera (Vitaceae) was evaluated for hepatoprotective activity in rats with liver damage induced by carbon tetrachloride. The extract at an oral dose of 200 mg/kg exhibited a significant protective effect by lowering the serum levels of SGPT, SGOT, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin. The extract at this dose also increases the level of total pro...

Methanol extract of Muntingia calabura L. (family Muntingiaceae) leaf has been reported to exert various pharmacological activities including hepatoprotection. The present study was carried out to identify the most effective hepatoprotective partition derived from the extract and to determine the mechanisms of action involved. The extract was partitioned using solvents with different polarity t...

Background: Corn silk (CS) is widely used in Iranian traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to investigate hepatoprotective activity of CS by Isolated Rat Liver Perfusion System (IRLP). Methods: Hydro-alcoholic extract of corn silk (10, 20, 40, and 100 mg kg-1) was evaluated for its hepatoprotective activity by IRLP. Phenol and flavonoid contents of the extract were determined as gal...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of methanolic extract of aerial parts of Plumbago zeylanica in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in wistar rats. Silymarin (100mg/kg, p.o.) was given as reference drug. The extract of aerial parts of Plumbago zeylanica have shown very significant hepatoprotection against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in wistar rats by reducing se...
