This article discusses the hepatoprotective potential of ethanolic extract from Stems of Anisochilus carnosus against carbon tetrachloride induced toxicity in rats. The extract was found to be effective in controlling the toxic effects of CCl4 in rats, as compared to the normal and the standard drug silymarin treated group. The hepatoprotective activity was evaluated by the assay of liver function biochemical parameters like Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT), Serum Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase (SGOT), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Total Bilirubin and Total Protein. The study concludes that the ethanolic extract of stems of Anisochilus carnosus possess hepatoprotective activities more or less depending on the dose levels.
