Hepatoprotective effect of the root extract of Decalepis hamiltonii against carbon tetrachloride-induced oxidative stress in rats
چکیده انگلیسی

Decalepis hamiltonii, a climbing shrub, grows in the forests of peninsular India and is consumed for its health promoting properties. The hepatoprotective activity of the aqueous extract of the roots of D. hamiltonii with known antioxidant constituents was studied against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced oxidative stress and liver injury in rats. Pretreatment of rats with aqueous extract of the roots of D. hamiltonii, single (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg b.w.) and multiple doses (50 and 100 mg/kg b.w. for 7 days) significantly prevented the CCl4 (1 ml/kg b.w.) induced hepatic damage as indicated by the serum marker enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP, and LDH). Parallel to these changes, the root extract also prevented CCl4-induced oxidative stress in the rat liver by inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protein carbonylation, and restoring the levels of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GPx, GR, and GST) and glutathione. The biochemical changes were consistent with histopathological observations suggesting marked hepatoprotective effect of the root extract in a dose dependent manner. Protective effect of the aqueous extract of the roots of D. hamiltonii against CCl4-induced acute hepatotoxicity could be attributed to the antioxidant constituents.
