To understand the mechanism of the antihepatotoxic potential of an ethanolic extract of Trianthema portulacastrum, experiments were carried out to monitor its effect on hepatic lipid peroxidation, glutathione status and activities of several antioxidant enzymes following the chronic treatment of
Aflatoxins are potent hepatotoxic and hepatocarcinogenic agents. Reactive oxygen species and consequent peroxidative damage caused by aflatoxin are considered to be the main mechanisms leading to hepatotoxicity. The present investigation aims at assessing the hepatoprotective effect of ethanolic
