    Hepatoprotective activit of methanolic extract of casearia eliptica leaf extract in rats

    ABSTRACT:

    Liver is the largest organ in the body which serves as a gland also. It plays an important role in

    the maintenance of internal environment through its multiple and diverse functions. Any damage

    to the liver or impairment of its functions leads to injurious effects. Liver diseases (like jaundice)

    are the common ailments affecting mankind, though no remedy is available in allopathy at

    present. ain is defined as neuralgia, an unpleasant sensory e!perience associated with tissue

    damage. Inflammation is a common complaint in most patients suffering from disease conditions

    .Inflammation is a normal protective response to tissue injury caused by physical trauma,

    no!ious chemical or microbial agents. In the recent past years many medicinal plants are

    screened for their hepatoprotective as well as analgesic and anti inflammatory activity and "uite

    a few of them are already successful in entering the market, #ence the present study is planned

    to find out the hepatoprotective and analgesic and anti inflammatory activity of caseria eliptica

    leaf using drug induced hepatoto!icity paracetamol,ccl$ model respectively.

    Hepatotoxicity:

    Liver is the largest organ in the body which serves as a gland also. It is wedge shaped and

    weighs between %&'' to %''gms. It lies in the right upper "uadrant of the abdominal cavity,

    beneath the diaphragm and also attached to it. It is divided into four lobes (uyton *.Arther,

    %+-).It plays an important role in the maintenance of internal environment through its multiple

    and diverse functions (alwar ., %++).

    he liver stores a multitude of substances, including glucose (in the form of glycogen),

    vitamin A (%/& years0 supply), vitamin 1 (%/$ months0 supply), vitamin 2%& (%/3 years0

    supply), iron, and copper.

    he liver is responsible for immunological effects4the reticuloendothelial system of the

    liver contains many immunologically active cells, acting as a 0sieve0 for antigens carried to it via

    theportal system.

    he liver produces albumin, the major osmolarcomponent ofblood serum.

    he liver synthesi5es angiotensinogen, a hormone that is responsible for raising the blood

    pressurewhen activated byrenin,an en5yme that is released when the kidneysenses low blood

    pressure.

    Any damage to the liver or impairment of its functions leads to injurious effects. Liver

    diseases (like jaundice) are the common ailments affecting mankind, though no remedy is

    available in allopathy at present (2hat 1.Arun, et.al, %++-).
