Study on hepatoprotective effect of an extract from Plantago asiatica L

ABSTRACT

Extract F1 from Plantago asiatica L. provided hepatoprotective activity, decreased liver GPT enzyme (91.7%) and serum bilirubine (25.8%) in model of CCl4-induced cirrhosis mice, versus control group. Extract F1 had hepatoprotective activity, decreased liver GPT enzyme and serum bilirubine in model of CCl4-induced cirrhosis mice, versus control group (27.5% and 19.4%, respectively). Extract F1 had anti-oxidant activity, decreased liver MDA level by 21.2%, inhibited cirrhotic process, decreased collagen level by 26.5% versus control group
