摘要
The different extracts of the fruits of Luffa Echinata Roxb. (Cucurbitaceae) were tested for their hepatoprotective activity against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The degree of protection was measured by using biochemical parameters like serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), total protein (TP) and total albumin (TA). The petroleum ether, acetone and methanolic extracts showed a significant hepatoprotective activity comparable with those of Silymarin. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
