Protective effect of Mollugo cerviana extract on liver markers in alloxan induced diabetic rats
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder of multiple aetiology characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia with disturbances of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Liver is the central metabolic organ in body responsible for glucose homeostasis, diabetes leads to hepatic dysfunction. In the present study to investigate the protective effect of Mollugo cerviana extract on liver markers in alloxan induced diabetic rats. Hepatospecific enzymes (ALP, ALT and AST), protein and albumin content were activated when hepatocellular damage gave rise to abnormalities of liver function and these enzymes are remarkably increased in diabetic rats. Further confirmed in the histopathological studies of liver. Mollugo cerviana helps in parenchymal cell regeneration in liver, thus protecting membrane integrity and thereby minimizing enzyme leakage. Histopathological studies also supported the biochemical parameters. This result suggested that Mollugo cerviana possess potential hepato regenerating activity.
