ABSTRACT
Effects of single doses of kumari asav, kumari kalp, arogyavardhini and tamra bhasma on lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase) of rat liver and kidney were studied during hepatitis induced by single 0.3 ml/kg body wt dose of CCl4. Histologically all the drugs showed significant hepatoprotection. While acid phosphatase activities of liver and kidney were suppressed, activities of beta-glucuronidase were enhanced by these drugs. The results indicate that acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase behave differently, although they are lysosomal in nature.
