This pathogenesis of liver damage arises so many complications like destruction of structures of the endoplasmic reticulum and other membrane, loss of metabolic enzyme activation, reduction of protein synthesis. The loss of glucose-6-phosphatase activation, decreasing level of phospholipids, increasing triglyceride levels, inhibition of calcium pumps of microsomes, covalent binding of macromolecules and disruption of metabolic mechanisms in mitochondria thus leading to necrosis of liver.22 and 23 The acute toxicity study expressed the absence of lethality among the tested BIBF-1120 animals upon administration of the ethanolic extract both plant

as single dose (200 mg/kg). There were no any signs and symptoms of any behavioral changes observed

except an increase in urination which decided the safe use of the plant extract. When rats were treated with CCl4 it induces hepatotoxicity by metabolic activation, therefore, it selectively causes toxicity in liver cells maintaining semi-normal metabolic function. The liver specific enzymes are the having very sensitive and reliable indices for the necessary hepatotoxic as well as hepatoprotective or curative effects of various compounds. The rise in serum levels of SGOT and SGPT attributed to the damaged structural integrity of the liver, because they are cytoplasmic in location and released into circulation after cellular damages.24 The amino transferases contribute a group of enzyme that catalyse the interconversion of amino acids and α-keto acids by the below transfer amino groups. Both the enzyme SGOT and SGPT levels increase with the CCl4 treatment and after treated with A. paniculata learn more and S. chirayita plant ethanol extract the elevated level were altered which indicates the protective action of plant extract. The enzyme alkaline phosphate (ALP) reaches the liver mainly from the bone. ALP is a membrane bound glycoprotein enzyme

with high concentration in sinusoid and endothelium. It is excreted into the bile; on treatment with CCl4, elevation of serum ALP level due to hepatobiliary disorder. The ALP related to the functioning of hepatocytes and increase in its activity is due to the increased synthesis in presence of biliary pressure. In the present study the treatment with ethanol extract reduce the level of ALP in treated animals. Thus on treatment with extract, probably it stabilizes the hepatic plasma membrane, which is evident of recovery ( Table 1). 25 Serum bilirubin levels and γ-glutamate transpeptidase (GGTP) levels also have specific marker of functional status of hepatic cell. The CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity increases the serum enzyme γ-glutamate transpeptidase (GGTPT) and bilirubin levels.26 Treatment with both A. paniculata and S. chirayita ethanol extract reduces the level, which indicates preservation of structural and functional integrity of the hepatocellular membrane in rats.
