This study was carried out to evaluate the possible mechanisms through which an aqueous extract from MO leaves demonstrates hepatoprotective effects in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Eighty albino rats were assigned to 4 groups. The control group was orally administered sterile saline. The second group was injected with alloxan (150 mg/kg body mass (b.m.)) by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.). The third group was given MO (250 mg/kg b.m.) orally, daily. The fourth group was injected with alloxan, as for the second group, and administrated an aqueous extract of MO leaves, as for the third group. Alloxan induced degenerative changes in hepatic and pancreatic tissues, increased hepatic lipid peroxidation, and increased gene expression of PC and caspase 3. However, it decreased the activities of hepatic SOD and CAT, and gene expression of GS. In contrast, the MO extract prevented changes to the histoarchitecture of hepatic and pancreatic tissues and normalized the reduced hepatic levels of glutathione, as well as the activities of SOD and CAT, and the gene expression of GS, while reducing blood glucose levels, hepatic lipid peroxidation, and the gene expression of PC and caspase 3. This study indicated that an aqueous extract of MO leaves can be a potent antioxidant and used as an hepatoprotective agent.
