Hepatoprotective studies of a fraction from the fruits of Terminalia belerica roxb. On experimental liver injury in rodents

The effects of an orally administered fraction (TB5) from the fruits of Terminalia belerica in experimental liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCI4) were studied. Hexobarbitone‐induced sleep, zoxazolamine‐induced paralysis, transaminases, bilirubin, total protein in serum and microsomal lipid peroxidation and triglycerides in liver were used as indices of liver injury.
