## Abstract Oral administration of aβlipoic acid, a metavitamin, was investigated for its possible hepatoprotective effect in Wistar rats against chloroquineβinduced toxicity. Rats were treated orally with __Ξ±__βlipoic acid (10, 30 and 100 mg kg^β1^ day^β1^) for 7 days before a single oral administ
Daucus carota commonly known as carrot, is widely used in European folk medicine for the treatment of jaundice and hepatic disorders. Oral administration of carrot extract (25 mL/kg/day) for 30 days produced significant hepatoprotection against lindane (20 mg/kg/day) induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
## Abstract The immunosuppressive agent cyclosporine A (CsA) has been reported to exert measurable hepatotoxic effects. One of the causes leading to hepatotoxicity is thought to be reactive oxygen radical formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of __N__βacetylcysteine (NAC)
