ABSTRACT:
The main aim of the present investigation was to explore the Liver shielding of Ficus benghalensis fruit extracts alongside perchloromethane persuaded toxic hepatitis in New Zealand albino rats. The ethanolic extract of the fruits of F. benghalensis (Family: Moraceae) was evaluated for Liver shielding in New Zealand Albino rats with liver mutilation persuaded by perchloromethane. F. benghalensis fruit extract unveiled a momentous Liver shielding consequence by dropping the serum concentrations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total serum bilirubin (TSB) and malondialdehyde equivalent 500 mg/kg (oral). These biochemical explanations were accompanied by a histopathological assessment of liver segments. The liver shielding of F. benghalensis fruit extracts was comparable to that of a known Liver shielding Liv-52.
