At the end of 7 days, blood was collected, liver extracted, weighed, processed for histopathological assessments and alteration in the levels of biochemical markers of hepatic damage like serum transaminases (AST,ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) , bilirubin cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and tissue GSH were tested in all the groups. The ECU exhibited a significant hepatoprotective effect by lowering the elevated serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP, total and direct serum bilirubin, cholesterol and significantly (p<0.05) increased HDL and moderately increased total protein and albumin in a dose dependent manner These biochemical observations were supplemented by treatment of liver toxicity in traditional medicine.
