The ethanol extract of Cynara cornigera L. was fractionated and the fractions were subjected to hepatoprotective assays using Wistar albino rats at a dose of 500 and 250mg/kg. The liver injury was induced in rats using carbon tetrachloride. Biochemical parameters such as aspartate aminotransferase
BACKGROUND
Artichoke, Cynara scolymus L. (Asteraceae), has many natural antioxidants and multiple pharmacological actions. Recent studies have shown that it has antitoxic activity.
OBJECTIVE
Lead (Pb) is a dangerous environmental toxicant that induces a broad range of dysfunctions in human. This
Artichoke floral stems (AFS) food waste by-products were examined for their phytochemical constituents and their in vitro and in vivo biological activities. Although that the highest total phenol content and total flavonoid content were found in ethyl acetate extract, methanol extract possessed the
Background Diazinon (DZN) causes serious liver damage in both humans and animals. In the present study, the hepatoprotective effects of Cynara scolymus L. leaf extract against DZN-induced liver injury were examined. Methods Forty male rats were divided into five groups. The control group received a
The liver and kidney are among the most important organs in the body, where metabolic and elimination functions take place. During this process, liver and kidneys may suffer damage due to ingestion or formation of toxic metabolites leading to organ loss and even death. Artichoke Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is a commonly used anabolic-androgenic steroid. These drugs are illegally self-administered by athletes to enhance their sports performance. However, their abuse could influence the testicular function and fertility. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the

OBJECTIVE
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of fish oil and Artichoke (Cynara scolymus I.) against diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced hepatocellular carcinoma in rats.
METHODS
Animals were divided into 8 groups. Group 1, control rats. Group 2: rats injected with single dose of DEN (100
