The acetaminophen is one of analgesic; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can cause the hepatotoxicity. Many of the hepatoprotective of plant use in medicine to treatment of hepatic disorders. The aqueous Capparis spinosa extract (CSE) (500 mg/kg) was used to reduce the hepatotoxicity induced by paracetamol (PARA) (300mg/kg). The current study, 70 male albino mice (25-30 g) were divided into five group; group I: It were received 0.9% sodium chloride (control), group II: It were given PARA intraperitoneally (IP) (300 mg/kg), single dose, group III: It were received PARA as a single dose (300 mg/kg) intraperitoneally (IP) directly followed by oral administration of the CSE (500 mg/kg) single dose per day for 21 days, group IV: It were received CSE (500 mg/kg) single dose per days for 21 days the injected by PARA intraperitoneally (IP) (300mg/kg), and Group V: It were administered orally of CSE only (500 mg/kg) per days for 21 days. The animals each groups above sacrificed at 1 h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 72h, 10 days and 21 days. Blood samples were collected to determine the serum of CYP450 2E1 and GSH. The PARA (300mg/kg) increased the CYP450 2E1 and reduced the GSH serum levels significantly when compared with the control group (P<0.05). The CSE showed non-significantly effect on these markers. The CSE showed the higher reducing effect on CYP450 2E1 and GSH level induced by PARA toxicity about 19.53% in (CSE+PARA) group, and about 62.52% in (PARA+CSE) group respectively. This research conclude that the CSE (500 mg/kg) reduces the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol (300mg/kg IP) significantly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
