摘 要:Objective:To investigate the hepatoprotective activity of methanolic leaf extract of Cyathea gigantea(***)against paracetamol induced liver damage in ***:The hepatoprotective activity for plant extract was investigated for paracetamol induced hepatoxicity in *** albino rats of either sex were divided into five groups of 6 animals each and are given orally the following treatment for seven *** normal control group was given 1%*** 1mL/kg bw,*** at dose of 1g/kg bw,*** given as toxic dose for inducing ***(50mg/kg.p.o.) was given as reference *** doses of C. gigantea extract i.e.,100 mg/*** 200 mg/kg,*** tested for hepatoprotective activity. The treatment was given for seven days and after 24 h of last treatment blood was collected from retro-orbital plexus and analysed for various serum parameters like serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase(SGOT),serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase(SGPT),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),total bilirubin(TB)and total protein(TP)in different ***:The paracetamol intoxication lead to histological and biochemical *** treatment with methanolic leaf extract of *** reduced the elevated levels of SCOT,SGPT,ALP,TB and also reversed the hepatic damage towards normal which further supports the hepatoprotective activity of leaf extract of ***:The methanolic extract of leaves of *** at doses of 100 mg/kg bw and 200 mg/kg bw have significant effect on liver of paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity model in rats.
