Evaluation of Hepatoprotective and antioxidant potential of methanolic extract of Polyalthiya longifolia fruits: An In-vitro and In-vivo approach

The aim of the study was to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant potential of methanolic extract of Polyalthiya longifolia fruits (MEPL) by in-vitro and in-vivo methods.In the invitro study, Freshly isolated rat primary hepatocytes and HepG2 cells were exposed with CCl4 along with/without various concentrations of MEPL(125,250,500 µg/kg) and the effects were studied.In the in-vivo studies, CCl4 intoxication method was used and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin and total proteins were estimated and supported with histopathological studies. MEPL (125,250,500 µg/kg) treated animals increased the percentage of viability in both primary hepatocytes (p
