ABSTRACT:
Methanolic extracts of Vitex quinata roots at 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg and silymarin was prepared and tested for its hepatoprotective effect against paracetamol induced hepatitis in rats. Alteration in the level of biochemical markers of hepatic damage like SGOT, SGPT, ALKP, TPL, CHL, TPTN and ALP were tested in both treated and untreated groups. The methanolic extracts of Vitex quinata roots at 200,400 and 800 mg/kg and silymarin showed a significant (P<0.05) decrease in all the elevated SGOT, SGPT, ALKP, TBL, CHL and significant increase (P<0.05) in TPTN and ALB levels produced by the toxicant Paracetamol.
