he roots of
Rhus mysorensis
of
Anacardiaceae
family is used
by the tribes of Andhra Pradesh, India, for the treatment of
varioushepaticdisorders. In thisstudy, the root of
Rhusmysorensis
was selected for the investigation of its hepatoprotective activity
against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity. The rats were given a daily
pre-treatment with ethyl acetate
Rhus mysorensis
root 200, 400
and 800 mg/kg and silymarin (25 mg/kg) followed by CCl4 at a
dose of 1.25 ml/kg orally for seven days. On the eighth day, blood
was collected from the reto orbital plexus of all the rats. Serum
was separated by centrifugation and analyzed for serum glutamic
pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamic oxaloacetic
transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), cholesterol
(CHL), total protein (TPTN) and albumin (ALB). The result of
the present study suggests that ethyl acetate extract of
Rhus
mysorensis
root showed better hepatoprotective activity due to
the presence of phytoconstituents such as steroids, triterpenoids
and flavonoids. Thus, the present study provides a scientific and
rational for the traditional use of this plant on the management of
liver diseases.
