Abstract
The hepatoprotective activity of amalgamation of tridax procumbens and ginger juice was evaluated against paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The albino wistar rats (n = 30) were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 5). Group I (Normal control) did not receive any treatment. Group II (Toxic control) animals were administered with paracetamol (2.75g/kg p.o.) on 6th and 7th day. Group III rats pretreated with silymarin at a dose of 50 mg/kg b. w. /day for 7 days and were induced with Paracetamol at dose 2.75g/kg p.o. on 6th and 7th day. Group IV rats pretreated with ethanolic extract of tridax procumbens at dose 200mg/kg for 7 days and were induced with paracetamol at dose 2.75g/kg p.o. on 6th and 7th day . Group V rats pretreated with ginger juice at dose 2ml/kg for 7 days and were induced with paracetamol at dose 2.75g/kg p.o. on 6th and 7th day. Group VI pretreated with ethanolic extract of tridax procumbens and ginger juice at 200 mg/kg and 2ml/kg dose b. w. /day for 7days and were induced with paracetamol at dose 2.75g/kg p.o. on 6th and 7th day. Liver function tests, triglyceride, MDA, glutathione and electrolyte profile were estimated using standard kits. Livers were quickly removed and fixed in 10% formalin and subjected to histopathological studies. In conclusion, the amalgamation of tridax procumbens and ginger juice can enhance antioxidant activity and ameliorate the paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity. The results of this study strongly indicate that Amalgamation of tridax procumbens and ginger juice has got a potent hepatoprotective action against paracetamol induced hepatic damage in rats.
