Hepatoprotective Activities of Moringa Boiled (Moringa oleifera) Aqueous Waterin Balb/C Mice Model with Liver Injury Induced by Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4)
Keywords
Liver protection, carbon tetrachloride, Moringa oleifera, root extract
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of the root extract (RE) of Moringa oleifera. BALB/c mice were induced for liver damage by carbon tetrachloride in and subsequently administered by RE as a protection. In the experiments, the RE and silymarin were used at the doses of 0,5 ml (2,0 gram root powder) and 50 mg per kg of body weight, respectively. The results showed that after 14 days of administration, a reduction of the level of liver enzymes AST, ALT, LDH and total bilirubin was observed similar to the case of silymarin. Micro and macro-analysis of liver showed positive effects of both RE and silymarin in liver protection. This study suggested the potential application of RE in liver protection.
