METHODS: Male Wistar rats, with mean weight of 250 g, were used in four experimental models: inhaled carbon tetrachloride; intraperitoneal carbon tetrachloride; partial portal vein ligation; and bile duct ligation (BDL).
RESULTS: There were statistically significant differences between the BDL control and BDL experimental groups: aspartate aminotransferase (105.3 +/- 43 vs. 500.5 +/- 90.3 IU/L); alanine aminotransferase (78.75 +/- 37.7 vs. 162.75 +/- 35.4 IU/L); alkaline phosphatase (160 +/- 20.45 vs. 373.25 +/- 45.44 IU/L); arterial oxygen tension (85.25 +/- 8.1 vs. 49.9 +/- 22.5 mmHg); and oxygen saturation (95 +/- 0.7 vs. 73.3 +/- 12.07%).

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl (4)) is largely used as solvent in chemical industries.
Results demonstrated that C-PE dose-responsively ameliorates CCl (4)-toxicity by significantly decreasing (P <0.05) organs weight, aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, glucose, lipid profile, creatinine, uric acid and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations with rise in body weight, food intake, hemoglobin, protein, bilirubin and FRAP values.

15036476 Rajesh MG, Latha MS: Preliminary evaluation of the antihepatotoxic activity of Kamilari, a polyherbal formulation. J Ethnopharmacol. 2004 Mar;91(1):99-104.

Hepatoprotective efficacy of Kamilari, a polyherbal preparation was studied in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver dysfunction in albino rats by determining different biochemical parameters in serum and tissues.
In serum, the activities of enzymes like aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the concentrations of protein and bilirubin were evaluated.

Treatment with seed extract significantly inhibited the increase in DEN/CCl4 induced activities of pre-cancerous marker enzymes; gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, glutathione-S-transferase, hepatotoxicity marker enzymes; glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase as well as lipid peroxidase.

18697572 Kuriakose GC, Kurup GM: Antioxidant activity of Aulosira fertilisima on CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Indian J Exp Biol. 2008 Jan;46(1):52-9.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is used as a model for liver injury.
Liver damage is detected by the measurement of the activities of serum enzymes like aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase and alkaline phosphatase which were released in to the blood from damaged cells.

Ann Hepatol. 2007 Oct-Dec;6(4):233-41.


In contrast, danazol + PEG-IFN + ribavirin reduced total bilirubin levels by 61%, alkaline phosphatase activity by 45%, ALT activity by 76%, and gamma-GTP activity by 74% (P < 0.05).

Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol. 2008 Nov;103(5):476-81. Epub 2008 Sep 22.


Alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and alanine aminotransferase increased in the group receiving CCl4; trolox completely or partially prevented these alterations.
