摘要
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory potential of chebulagic acid on carbon tetrachloride–induced hepatic fibrosis in rats. The liver was damaged in the rats using CCL4 (2 ml/kg b.w dissolved in 20% corn oil) intragastrically twice/week for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase, lipid peroxidation markers, and enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidant enzymes, inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed and all these parameters were altered. Chebulagic acid administration reversed all the altered parameters to near-normal levels. Improved histological and immunohistochemical observations liver supported the biochemical investigated. Hence, chebulagic acid exhibits hepatoprotective effects against CCl4-induced liver damage. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.
