| Abstract | This study evaluates the hepatoprotective activity of moralbosteroid, isolated from Morus alba, against the hepatotoxicity induced by CCl4 in wistar albino rats. The level of hepatoprotection was estimated by measuring the following biochemical markers: aspartate amino-transferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), serum alanine amino-transferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TB), and total protein (TP), including the enzymes involved in antioxidant activities like glutathione transferase (GST), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), lipid peroxidation (LPO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The oral administration of CCl$_{4}$ significantly caused elevation in LPO level (13.22 ± 1.59 μM/mg protein) as compared to control. The activities of antioxidant enzymes including CAT, SOD, GPx and GST were decreased significantly (0.38 ± 0.6 nmol/min/ml, 0.89 ± 0.83 U/ml, 3.90 ± 0.91 μmol and 0.05 ± 0.16 U/min/mg protein) in testicular tissue as compared to control animals. Moralbosteroid significantly prevents the marked escalation of serum markers and inhibited the free radical processes by the scavenging of hydroxyl radicals. It also modulates the levels of LPO and prominently increases the endogenous antioxidant enzyme levels in hepatocellular toxicity induced by CCl4. The results obtained in the present study suggest the preventive influence of moralbosteroid on liver toxicity in rats induced by CCl4 comparable with those of Silymarin. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
