Abstract
|
|
|
|
Methanolic extract of the leaves of Cassia tom was evaluated for its hepatoprotective potentials in rats by inducing hepatotoxicity with carbon tetrachloride. The extract at a dose of 400 mg/kg orally showed significant protective effect by lowering the serum levels of transaminase (SGOT and SGPT), bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The effects produced were comparable to that of a standard hepatoprotective agent
