Abstract:Background: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis is a well-established model of hepatotoxicity. Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding glycoprotein that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Aim of the study: This study was made to demonstrate the ameliorating effect of lactoferrin versus CCL4 induced liver fibrosis in adult male albino rat using various biochemical and histological techniques. Materials & Methods: This study involved forty adult male albino rats that were randomly divided … Show more
