We have reported previously that leek could inhibit the-SH group containing compounds depletion in rat liver intoxicated with CCl4. In this report, we present the effect of leek administration on the level of-SH group containing compounds in plasma of rats, intoxicated with CCl4, as compared to the level of these compounds in the plasma of normal rats and of CCl4 intoxicated rats. A number of r…
The ability of leek to prevent liver damage in rats intoxicated with CCl4 has been demonstrated histopathologically as well as based on enzymatic findings by observing GPT levels in serum. This study was performed to gain an understanding, at least partially, of the hepatoprotective mechanism of leek. A number of rats were divided radomly into three groups of seven animals. The first group, wit…
