    ABSTRACT

    The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepato-protective activity of methanolic and chloroform extract of moringa oleifera leaves are evaluated in CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. Silymarin (200mg/kg) was given as reference standard. The methanolic and chloroform extracts of leaves of moringa oleifera have shown very significant hepatoprotection against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats in reducing Serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, SGPT and SGOT levels.
