Title

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF HYDROALCOHOLIC EXTRACT OF BERBERIS VULGARIS ROOT ON THE ACTIVITY OF LIVER ENZYMES IN MALE HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC RATS

Pages

  153-161

Abstract

 Objectives: Hyperlipidemia can cause a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and fatty liver which is followed by increased LIVER ENZYMEs. Since BERBERIS VULGARIS (B. vulgaris) root possesses antioxidant properties; the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of its extract on the activity of LIVER ENZYMEs in RATs.Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, sixty Wistar RATs were selected and allocated to six groups of ten each. The control group received a normal diet and the sham group received a fatty diet while the other groups including experimental groups received a fatty diet and the alcoholic extract of B.vulgarisat minimum (75 mg/kg), moderate (150 mg/kg), and maximum (300 mg/kg) doses by intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) or oral ATORVASTATIN (10 mg /kg) with a fatty diet. At the end of this 21-day period, blood samples were drawn and the levels of the intended factors were measured. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 11.5.Results: The comparison of the obtained results showed that the levels of ALANINE TRANSAMINASE (ALT) and ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE (ALP) enzymes in the sham group that only received fatty food increased (p≤0.05), whereas in the treatment groups receiving B. vulgaris extract as well as in the group receiving ATORVASTATIN, these enzymes significantly decreased; however, no significant changes were observed in ASPARTATE TRANSAMINASE (AST) levels.Conclusion: Noticing the antioxidant properties of B. vulgaris root extract and its effects on reducing the activity of LIVER ENZYMEs, the extract of this plant can be a good choice for improving the function of liver.
