ABSTRACT
Hepatoprotective effect of Tamra bhasma has been studied on cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) induced peroxidation, reduced glutathione content and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-in rat liver homogenate. The drug was orally given for 8 days which showed significant reduction in the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) production at different concentrations of cumene hydroperoxide in vitro. Glutathione content was maintained upto seventy minutes and SOD activity was enhanced to 166%. These animals did not show any rise in serum GOT and GPT. On similar doses no histological changes were observed in liver. The results suggested that Tamra bhasma is a strong antioxidant drug and could be used in the management of lipid peroxidation with no detectable adverse effect.
