This study was conducted on twenty white rats were distributed into five
groups and injected over a month and a half at different doses (ranging
from 150 - 950 mg / kg) of cimetidine.
This Study was designed to evaluate the effects of Aloe vacillans leaves juice
on carbon tetrachloride CCl4- induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
Hepatotoxicity was induced in rats by intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of CCl4 (1ml/kg) of body weight every
72h during ethanolic extract of Aloe vacillans
leaves were administrated at dose 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg of body weight
pass orally (p.o) daily for 14 days.
Twenty-four hours post-CCl4 treatment, blood samples were withdrawn
through retro orbital sinus.The hepatotoxicity and its prevention was assessed
by serum parameters like alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate
aminotransferase (AST), total protein (T.P) and albumin (ALB).
