HEPATOPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF KALMEGHA (ANDROGRAPHIS PANICULATA): INSIGHTS FROM AN ANIMAL EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Authors/Creators
Description
Background: Liver diseases are a global health burden. Kalmegha (Andrographis paniculata), a traditional medicinal plant, has been used for liver ailments, but scientific validation in experimental models is essential.
Objective: To evaluate the hepatoprotective potential of Kalmegha in experimentally induced hepatic injury in animal models.
Methods: [Briefly mention model used,e.g.,carbon tetrachloride/paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity, animal group division, dose of extract, duration, biochemical & histopathological assessment.
Results: Kalmegha significantly improved biochemical parameters (ALT, AST, Bilirubin) and restored antioxidant levels compared to toxicant control. Histopathological examination supported biochemical findings. Conclusion: Findings suggest Kalmegha possesses promising hepatoprotective activity and may serve as a potential natural hepatoprotective agent.
