摘要: AbstractThe current study was designed to investigate the effect of Citrus limon. (L.) Burm. (Rutaceae) fruits, commonly known as lemon, in experimental liver damage. The ethanol extract fruits evaluated for its effects on damage induced by carbon tetrachloride, and ethyl acetate soluble fraction HepG2 cell line. normalized levels aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine (ALAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total direct bilirubin, which were altered due tetrachloride intoxication rats. In tissue, treatment significantly reduced malondialdehyde (MDA), hence lipid peroxidation, raised antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase. It improved glutathione (GSH) treated rats comparison with CCl4-intoxicated histopathologic studies, animals exhibited restoration t...
