Abstract

Hepato-toxicity was induced experimentally in 162 rats with single dose of paracetamol @ 500 mg/kg B.Wt. to observe the enzymatic and haematological efficiency of some hepatoprotective formulations (F) of herbal and nonherbal nature. Study of Serum Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), Serum-L-Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (SAP), TLC, DLC, TEC, Hb, PCV etc. were done. The results indicated that hepatoprotective herbal formulations employed in present study, were having better effect than nonherbal formulations.
