Comparative Evaluation of Hepatoprotective Activities of Trigonella foenum-graecum (seeds), Cymbopogon proximus and Acacia nilotica on a model of acute carbon tetrachloride hepatitis in rats

An experimental study of the beneficial effect of herbal preparations on acute toxic liver damage with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in animals was conducted The goal is to Compare the hepatoprotective effect of three water extracts of herbal preparations: (I) Trigonella foenum-graecum (seeds), (II) Cymbopogon proximus, (III) Asasia nilotica Material and methods. To simulate acute toxic liver damage, 50% CCl4 was administered once intraperitonally in doses of 0.6 ml, 0.3 ml, and 0.2 ml. Control groups: K1-1 group intact animals without injections; K2: groups 2, 3, 4. introduced saline solution (FR) without Ssl4 in the volume of 2 ml. Experimental groups: 5, 6, 7 and 8 studied the hepatoprotective properties of aqueous solutions of the studied drugs after intraperitoneal administration of Ssl4 or FR. Researched herbs: I, II, III, in different doses were administered 2 ml of an aqueous solution in breeding 1:10, observation period 5 days, the blood, for research stabilized solution of sodium citrate in the ratio of 1:10, studied the properties of blood cells hematological analyzer PCE-90Vet (USA). The content of total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, creatinine and transaminase activity - ALT, AST-were recorded in the blood serum using an automatic analyzer of the company “ HUMASTAR 600 “(Germany)», Results and discussion. Water extracts of preparations I and II prevented the reduction of red blood cells and platelets, and activated the macrophage pool. All the herb extracts studied prevent platelet reduction, however, but do not bring them up to the indicators of intact animals. The use of solution III prevented the growth of the cytolysis enzyme-ALT. All studied extracts in acute carbon tetrachloride intoxication. they warned of an increase in hypertriglyceremia. The introduction of water extracts II, III in the 1:10 ratio prevented the development of necrotic changes in hepatocytes, inflammatory infiltration, manifestations of fatty dystrophy, and preserved the architectonics of the liver lobule.
