Evaluation of antihepatotoxic potential of Solanum xanthocarpum fruit extract against antitubercular drugs induced hepatopathy in experimental rodents

Abstract: The results of this study strongly indicate the protective effect of S. xanthocarpum against liver injury which may be attributed to its hepatoprotective activity, and thereby scientifically support its traditional use.

“…Our study revealed that MECA administration at a higher dose level significantly increased hepatic GSH and SOD levels that were depleted in the antitubercular control group. This may be due to stimulation of de novo synthesis of the antioxidant enzymes, which may be because of capability of MECA to cause upregulation of transcriptional factors (Hussain et al, 2012). Thus, MECA indirectly prevents the formation of toxic metabolites of INH by stimulating the synthesis of hepatic antioxidant enzymes.…”
