<b style=""><i style="">Trigonella foenum-graecum </i>Linn.</b> (Fenugreek) belonging to the family Fabaceae, is a well known plant in Unani and Ayurvedic medicine. In the present study an attempt was made to explore the antifibrotic effect of ethanolic extract of this plant. Liver fibrosis was induced in rats by CCl<sub>4</sub> (carbon tetrachloride) orally 1 ml/kg for 28 days. The extent of liver fibrosis was assessed by measuring the level of liver hydroxyproline (HP), serum enzymes and total bilirubin (TBL) levels due to deposition of collagen. The liver weight of the animals was increased following CCl<sub>4</sub> administration. The administration of ethanolic extract reduced the liver weight of CCl<sub>4</sub> treated animals and treatment with ethanolic extract of the plant reduced significantly the HP, serum enzyme and TBL level and<i style=""> </i>inhibited liver fibrosis induced by CCl<sub>4</sub>. |
