HEPATOPROTECTIVE ACTIVITY: RECENT UPDATE
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Liver plays an important role in maintaining the biological equilibrium of vertebrates. Liver is the largest and almost complex organ in the body. It plays an important role in the maintenance of internal environment through its multiple and diverse function. It plays a central role in detoxification and excretion of many endogenous and exogenous compounds. Hence, any injury to it or impairment of its function has grave implication for the health of the affected person. Liver diseases possess complication in treating them throughout the world. Since, conventional or synthetic drugs used in treating of liver diseases are few & with the risk of serious side effects. This is the one of the reasons for many people all over the world including those in developed counties for turning towards complementary & alternative medicines.
