Hepatoprotective and Antioxidant Activity of <i>Lannea coromandelica</i> Linn. on Thioacetamide Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats

Abstract: Hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of Lannea coromandelica bark extract (LCBE) was investigated on thioacetamide induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced by thioacetamide (TAA) administration (100 mg/kg. s.c). LCBE at different doses (400 and 200 mg/kg) were administered orally to male wistar rats. Thioacetamide caused elevation of serum concentration of AST, ALT, ALP, serum bilirubin and also reduced serum concentration of total protein, albumin, sodium, potassium in animals as compar… Show more

“…Such finding was in consistence with Alshawsh et al (2011) and Al-Attar (2012), in mice treated with TAA. Also, the liver sections showed disarrangement, degeneration of normal hepatic cells, vacuolar degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory cell infiltration with intense centrilobular necrosis and congestion and destruction of central vein that was similar to finding of Salama et al (2012) and Rao et al (2014).…”

“…A fast increase in AST, ALP and ALT activity in paracetamol-treated rabbit serum may be caused by increased plasma membrane permeability or cellular necrosis that results in enzyme leakage into the bloodstream (23). These biochemical markers AST, ALP and ALT are utilized to diagnose early liver injury (24). It elevates serum levels of AST, ALP and ALT, and total bilirubin when the liver cell membrane is destroyed, which can happen in a number of common illnesses (25,26).…”

“…protective activity might be due its effect against cellular leakage and loss of functional integrity of cell membrane in hepatocytes. The increase in the activities of AST and ALT in serum of rats treated by paracetamol might be due to increased permeability of plasma membrane or cellular necrosis leading to leakage of the enzymes to the blood stream (Rao and Das, 2014).…”

“…It can work when a large portion of it is removed or diseased. It participates in variety of metabolic activities and thus may exposed to many toxicants, chemical and drugs which could injure it (Rao and Das, 2014). It is the body metabolic clearing house as its smooth endoplasmic reticulum is capable for dealing with both endogenous chemicals like cholesterol, fatty acids, hormones specially steroids and proteins, as well as exogenous ones as alcohol and drugs.…”
