| Sumario: | The present study deals with the amelioration by Delonix regia aerial parts extract against
hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), which was evaluated in terms of serum marker enzymes
like aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, albumine, total
protein, direct bilirubine and total bilirubine. These biochemical parameters were alter by the single dose
of CCl4 (2 ml/kg, p.o.). Pretreatment with D. regia extracts prior to administration of CCl4, at the dose of
400 mg/kg p.o. per day for 7 days, significantly restored all the serum and liver tissue parameters near to
the normal levels. Silymarine was used as reference standard. Amongst all the fractions, ethyl acetate fraction
showed best protective potential of D. regia aerial parts against hepatotoxicity. |
