Hepatoprotective Activity of Aqueous Acetone Extract from "Cienfuegosia digitata" Cav. (Malvaceae) Against Alcohol Hepatotoxicity in Albinos Wistar Rats

並列摘要


The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of aqueous acetone extract of "Cienfuegosia digitata" Cav. (Malvaceae) an herbal plant used in Burkina Faso to treat traditionally liver disease in albinos Wistar rats. Animals received by gavage 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight of extract daily for a period of 28 days. Control groups received alcohol 35% and water. In vivo administration of 35% ethanol for a period of 28 days in rats showed an activity of liver marker enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP and GGT), triglycerides, total cholesterol, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in serum compared with rats which received water (control water). However, administration of 35% ethanol along with aqueous acetone extract decreased the activities of liver markers enzyme in serum comparatively to the control water group (p<0.05 or p<0.01). We noticed that extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight was highly effective than 25 and 50 mg/kg body weight compared to the control water group (ALT and ALP; p>0.05 and p<0.05). This study revealed that "Cienfuegosia digitata" presents a hepatoprotective potential and this plant could be traditionally exploited in the treatment of liver disease particularly hepatitis B in Burkina Faso.
