Abstract
Protective effects of hexane fraction of Costus afer leaves against sodium arsenite-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in male albino wistar rats
Highlights
Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid elementthat is widely found in both organic and inorganic forms in the environment [1]
C. afer leaves hexane fraction (CALHF) had significantly reduced (P < 0.05) plasma ALT activities when compared with untreated control animals
There was no significant difference between 10 mg/kg silymarin and 200 mg/kg CALHF treated animals
Summary
Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid elementthat is widely found in both organic and inorganic forms in the environment [1]. This study was designed to evaluate the protective effects of hexane fraction of C. afer leaves on sodium-arsenite induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats.
