10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 2 Issue 4 2011 (October - December) Many hepatoprotective herbal preparations have been recommended in alternative systems of medicine for the treatment of hepatic disorders. No systematic study has been done on protective efficacy of lessThan i greaterThan Chenopodium album lessThan /i greaterThan to treat hepatic disease. Protective action of lessThan i greaterThan Chenopodium album lessThan /i greaterThan methanol extract was evaluated in animal model of hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan ). The experiments were performed using five groups of animals. The experimental animals were administered with 30 % CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan  for 14 days and the crude plant extract and the silymarin , a standard drug 25mg/kg/ bwt were fed into the CCl lessThan sub greaterThan 4 lessThan /sub greaterThan treated animals. Liver marker enzymes such as aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were estimated. serum bilirubin and protein levels were evaluated. The present study scientifically validates the traditional use of lessThan i greaterThan Chenopodium album lessThan /i greaterThan for liver disorders. Suganthi. V And Athira. L.
