Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the effects of Eugenia jambolana (EJ) extract and glibenclamide on streptozotocin (STZ) induced hepatotoxicity in rats.  Wistar rats were divided into four groups: untreated control (UC), untreated diabetic (UD), EJ (200 mg/kg) treated diabetic (ED) and glibenclamide (0.6 mg/kg) treated diabetic (GD) orally for 45 days. There was various evidence of hepatotoxicity, including significant increase (Phen compared to GD rats.

Keywords
