An Experimental Study Performed to Compare the Hepatoprotective Activity of Aloe Vera and Silymarin in Carbon Tetra Chloride (Ccl4)-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Albino Rabbits
Abstract:Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the hepatoprotective activity of Aloe vera and Silymarin in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rabbits.
Methods: The study was conducted on 18 healthy albino rabbits of either sex weighing 1.5–2.0 kg, divided into three groups. Hepatotoxicity was induced in rabbits by administering CCl4(0.05 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Alcoholic extracts of leaves of A. vera and Silymarin were administered orally for 20 days from day 1 to day 20 in the dose… Show more
