主 题:Ameliorative Antidyslipidemic Gongronema latifolium Oxidative stress
摘 要:Objective:To investigate the effect of leaf aqueous extract from Gongronema latifolium(***)on CCl_(4)induced-oxidative stress in Wistar *** effect was assessed by measuring liver marker enzymes activity,analyzing the antioxidant parameters,lipid profile estimation and lipid peroxidation by-product following CCl_(4)induced-oxidative ***:Milled *** leaves were subjected to aqueous extraction and the filtrate was evaporated between 40-60°C under reduced pressure and a calculated volume of the leaf extract was administered at a dose of 500 mg/kg body ***-five rats were grouped into seven groups of 5 animals each namely;control and experimental *** experimental groups were treated with 2.0 mL/kg body weight CCl_(4),25 mg/kg body weight/day silymarin(a standard hepatoprotective antioxidant),500 mg/kg body weight aqueous extract of *** leaves were administered to the CCl_(4)treated rats for 21 ***:Administration of the extract and silymarin increase significantly(P0.05)in liver marker enzyme(aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase)activities in serum,liver and kidney in the treated groups when compared with untreated *** antioxidant parameters(catalase,peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase)were significantly elevated(P0.05)in animals treated with the extract and silymarin in comparison with untreated ***_(4)induced oxidative stress mediated variations in total cholesterol,triacylglycerides,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol,low density lipoprotein cholesterol and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were restored significantly(P0.05)by the ***:The result obtained from this study indicated the antioxidant and antidyslipidemic potentials of the aqueous extract of *** leaves.
