G. Priya, Dr. C. Chellaram

Abstract


In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to test the hepatoprotective efficacy of the herbal plant Trianthema decandra on carbon tetrachloride induced toxic hepatitis. The carbon tetrachloride induced rats showed increased activity of Total protein, Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, ALP, AST, ALT and bilirubin in serum. The herbal Trianthema decandra leaf extract treated rats showed marked reduction in the activity of TP, TC, TG, ALP, AST, ALT &Bilirubin when compared with normal rats.
