HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY OF MAHONIA LESCHENAULTII TAKEDA. (ROOT WOOD AND ROOT BARK) ON COUNTRY MADE-LIQUOR (CML) INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY IN RATS
Journal Title: Journal of Drug Delivery and Therapeutics - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The hepatoprotective potential of Mahonia leschenaultii Takeda. (root wood and root bark) extract was evaluated in Country-Made Liquor (CML)-induced hepatotoxicity in Wister rats. The rats were made hepatotoxic by administering (CML) (3 ml/100g body weight/day in two divided doses) and corn oil (1 ml/100g body weight /day in a single dose) orally for 21 days. The administration of root wood and root bark of Mahonia leschenaultii Takeda. extract (200 mg/kg body weight) mixed with tween 80 (0.5% w/w) orally from day 15to day 21 along with CML. The different biochemical parameters tested are ALAT, ASAT, ALP, LDH, TGL, total protein, total cholesterol, Albumin, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin. The results were compared with standard drugs i.e. Silymarin (70 mg/kg body weight) orally. The histopathological study was carried out and histopathological changes were observed and compared. The study showed that the extract of root wood and root bark of Mahonia leschenaultii Takeda. is definitely a hepatoprotective agent and help in reduction of liver damage.
