| Abstract | In this study, the effect of Musa paradisiaca (plantain) stem pulp on aluminium chloride (AlCl3) induced hepatotoxicity was studied. Fifteen (15) healthy female wistar rats after acclimatization for two weeks were randomly distributed to three (3) groups, with five (5) rats in each group. Group 1 served as control and received as control pelletized growers feed and distilled water throughout the experiment (14 days). Group 2 received 100mg/kg/body weight (b.w.) of aluminium chloride and was fed with pelletized growers feed and distilled water for 14 days and group 3 received 100mg/kgb.w of aluminium chloride and 2mL/kg of the juice gotten from M. paradisiaca and were also allowed free access to feed and water ad libitum for 14 days. Blood samples were collected via cardiac puncture and analyzed for AST, ALT, MDA and SOD. Results revealed that there was a significant increase in AST and ALT levels respectively from 67.83±1.39 to 173.40±0.81 and 43.73±1.00 to 128.24±0.68 after treatment with AlCl3 compared to control while administration of M. paradisiaca extract ameliorated the adverse effects of AlCl3 when compared to AlCl3 treated groups from 173.40±0.81 to 72.40±1.71 and 128.24±0.68 to 45.83±1.22 respectively. There was a significant decrease (P<0.05) in SOD level from 6.04± 0.49 to 2.56±0.86 of AlCl3 compared to control and a significant increase (P<0.05) from 2.56±0.86 to 6.00±1. 56 in SOD level was observed in M. paradisiaca treated groups when compared to AlCl3 treated group. It was also observed that there was a significant (P<0.05) from 401.09±0.10 to 1207.98±1.39 in MDA level after treatment with AlCl3 compared to control while there was a significant decrease (P<0.05) from 1207.98±1.39 to 388.83±31.15 in MDA level of M. paradisiaca treated groups when compared to the AlCl3 treated groups. It was observed that M. paradisiaca showed a mitigating effect on aluminium chloride-induced hepatotoxicity and thus justifying the hepatoprotective property of M. paradisiaca. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
