The effect of oral administration of Phyllanthus methanolic extracts (PME) (i.e. P. acidus, P. emblica, P. myrtifolius, P. multiflorus, P. amarus, P. debilis, P. embergeri, P. hookeri, P. tenellus, P. urinaria L.s. nudicarpus, P. urinaria L.s. urinaria) or gallic acid (GA) on the progression of acute liver damage induced by CCl 4 in rats was examined by morphological and biochemical methods. P. acidus, P. urinaria L.s. urinaria, GA at a dose of 0.5 g/kg, and P. emblica, P. urinaria L.s. nudicarpus at a dose of 1.0 g/kg attenuated CCl 4-induced increase in serum glutamate-oxalate-transaminase (GOT). P. acidus, P. urinaria L.s. nudicarpus, P. urinaria L.s. urinaria, GA at a dose of 0.5 g/kg, and P. emblica, P. amarus, P. hookeri, P. tenellus at a dose of 1.0 g/kg attenuated CCl 4-induced increase in serum glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase (GPT). Concurrently, P. acidus, P. multiflorus, P. embergeri, P. hookeri, P. tenellus and P. urinaria L.s. urinaria elevated the activity of liver reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Since the protective effects of P. acidus, P. emblica, P. myrtifolius, P. embergeri, P. urinaria L.s. nudicarpus, P. urinaria L.s. urinaria and GA correlate with a reduction in liver infiltration and focal necrosis observed using histological methods, these data demonstrate that P. acidus and P. urinaria L.s. urinaria are hepatoprotective and antioxidant agents.

This study investigated the effects of acupuncture on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced acute liver injury in male rats (n = 36). The experimental groups were injected with CCl4 before, during, or after acupuncture therapy. Acupoints similar to the human Tsu-San-Li (St-36) and Tai-Chung (Li-3) were needled bilaterally. Rats treated with CCl4 had higher levels of serum glutamate-oxalate-transaminase (sGOT) and serum glutamate-pyruvate-transaminase (sGPT). Comparing the experimental groups, biochemical and pathological parameters of liver injury were significantly reduced when rats were acupunctured after, not before, CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity. Acupuncture at the Tsu-Sa-Li and Tai-Chung acupoints cannot prevent acute liver injury but may be effective in treating liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats.

The hepatoprotective effect of Ban-zhi-lian was investigated in three kinds of experimental models. The animals were treated with Ban-zhi-lian (300 mg/kg, p.o.) at 2, 4, and 10 hours after carbon tetrachloride (32l/kg, i.p.), acetaminophen (600 mg/kg, i.p.), and β-D-galactosamine (188 mg/kg, i.p.) administration. Significant protective effects from these hepatotoxins were expressed. This protection was evidenced by comparing the serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), and histopathologic examination in animals treated and untreated with Ban-zhi-lian. Serum enzyme activities were significantly lower in Ban-zhi-lian-treated groups. In the histopathologic observation, liver damage induced by three hepatotoxins was markedly improved in Ban-zhi-lian treated animals. These results demonstrated that Ban-zhi-lian has a protective effect against experimental liver damage induced by various hepatotoxins.

 AbstractSGPT examination is one of the important checks on the state of a particular patient, for example, in patients with liver disease, hepatitis, and so forth. The other purpose is to detect the presence of liver damage. So there was an effect in the event of an increase in maupaun drop in levels. And the serum circumstances that do not qualify, such as serum hemolysis, will greatly affect the actual levels of ALT. Based on the research background, the authors formulate the problem as follows: "Is there any effect of hemolysis on SGPT levels as one of the parameters of liver function?". The purpose of this study is to prove whether there is an influence of hemolysis on SGPT levels as one of the parameters of liver function. The sample was 20 samples and 20 samples of hemolysis hemolysis. Location and time of the research conducted at Muhammadiyah Hospital Clinical Laboratory Lamongan ie in January and July. Of the 20 samples analyzed, showing that levels higher than the hemolysis ALT SGPT levels no hemolysis. When the serum through lysis will experience a significant increase. To test the effect of hemolysis on SGPT levels paired t test was used because the data from this study with normally distributed. The results of a paired t test analysis between serum hemolysis and no hemolysis on levels of serum ALT levels showed a significant value 0.00 thus P <0.05 it can be concluded that there is no difference between the levels of ALT SGPT levels of hemolysis with hemolysis. That means there is the influence of hemolysis on SGPT levels as one of the parameters of liver function. Key word : hemolysis, glutamate pyruvate transminase

Artemisiaspecies have been extensively used for the management of diabetes in folklore medicine. The current study was designed to investigate the antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects ofArtemisia amygdalina. Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, and hydroethanolic extracts ofArtemisia amygdalinawere tested for their antidiabetic potentials in diabetic rats. The effect of extracts was observed by checking the biochemical, physiological, and histopathological parameters in diabetic rats. The hydroethanolic and methanolic extracts each at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg b. w significantly reduced glucose levels in diabetic rats. The other biochemical parameters like cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins (LDL), serum creatinine, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), and alkaline phosphatise (ALP), were found to be reduced by the hydroethanolic and methanolic extracts. The extracts also showed reduction in the feed and water consumption of diabetic rats when compared with the diabetic control. The histopathological results of treated groups showed the regenerative/protective effect onβ-cells of pancreas in diabetic rats. The current study revealed the antidiabetic potential ofArtemisia amygdalinabeing effective in hyperglycemia and that it can effectively protect against other metabolic aberrations caused by diabetes in rats, which seems to validate its therapeutic traditional use.
