  • Title: Evaluation of hepatoprotective activity of Cassia fistula leaf extract.
    Author: Bhakta T, Mukherjee PK, Mukherjee K, Banerjee S, Mandal SC, Maity TK, Pal M, Saha BP.
    Journal: J Ethnopharmacol; 1999 Sep; 66(3):277-82. PubMed ID: 10473173.
    Abstract:
    Hepatoprotective activity of the n-heptane extract of Cassia fistula leaves was investigated in rats by inducing hepatotoxicity with carbon tetrachloride:liquid paraffin (1:1). The extract has been shown to possess significant protective effect by lowering the serum levels of transminases (SGOT and SGPT), bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase (ALP). The extract of C. fistula at a dose of 400 mg/kg showed significant hepatoprotective activity which was comparable to that of a standard hepatoprotective agent.
