HEPATOPROTECTIVE EFFECTS OF DELONIX REGIA AND AEGLE MARMELOS ON ACETAMINOPHEN-INDUCED HEPATOTOXICITY
Abstract
Hepatotoxicity, or liver damage, is a serious concern associated with the use of acetaminophen, a commonly used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication. This study aims to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effects of Delonix regia (Gulmohar) and Aegle marmelos (Bael) on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. An experimental model of hepatotoxicity was established using rats, and various biochemical and histopathological parameters were evaluated to assess the protective effects of the plant extracts.
