  • Title: Hepatoprotection with Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz).
    Author: Mitra S, Sur RK.
    Journal: Indian J Exp Biol; 1997 Dec; 35(12):1306-9. PubMed ID: 9567765.
    Abstract:
    Effects of extracts of leaf (250, 500 and 750 mg/kg body wt) and stem bark (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body wt) of G. pentaphylla were studied on CCl4 (1 mg/kg body wt) induced hepatic injury in albino rats. Parameters studied were plasma ALAT, ASAT, ALP, total bilirubin and tissue histopathology. Recovery of hepatic tissue was indicated with the highest dose (750 mg/kg body wt) of leaf extract. The therapeutic dose range was devoid of toxic effects. Toxicity of leaf extract was observed histopathologically at and above 2.5g/kg body wt.
