Abstract:The aim of this work was to evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of fractions and phytosomal complexes of Telfairia occidentalis leaf extracts on ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity in rat models. Phytosomal complexes of ethanol extract fractions were prepared by the thin film hydration technique. Hepatoprotective activities were evaluated by biochemical assays and histopathological examination of liver sections. Intoxication of animals with pure ethanol significantly (p < 0.05) elevated their liver enzyme ti… Show more
