Abstract

MeOH extract of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ZO) were investigated for hepatoprotective effect at the doses (p.o) of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight using CCl4 induction method. Male Swiss mouse (25±1,5 g) were treated with ZO doses 100 and 200 mg/kg bw and Sillymarin (100 mg/kg bw) for two week before treatment with a single dose of CCl4, 0.5 ml/kg bw, intraperitoneally. The mouse were sacrifactivity of SGPT-SGOT. The study showed the activity of SGPT of MeOH extract of ZO doses 100 mg/kg bw and 200 mg/kg bw, Sillymarin, control and normal groups are (34,51±5,34) (27,38±4,28) (27,26±1,06) (36,61±1,87) dan (25,37±2,01I) U/L. respectively. While the activity of SGOT of MeOH extract of ZO doses 100 mg/kg bw and 200 mg/kg bw, Sillymarin, control and normal groups are (88,88±0,94) (83,88±3,91) (83,99±7,24) (92,97±8,16) (82,99±3,97) U/L.respectively. MeOH extract of ZO dose 200 mg/kg BW and Sillymarinsignificantly (p < 0,05) decrease the activities two enzymes (SGPT and SGOT). The results showed MeOH extract Zingiber officinale Roscoe has hepatoprotective effect.
