  • Abstract
    The aim of the study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of AGE in AFB1 induced liver damage in Wistar albino rats. Liver damage was induced by inoculating AFB1 (4 mg/kg BW) on day 12 of the experiment. AGE was used (200 mg/kg BW) orally, for a period of 28 days against AFB1 induced liver injury. Histopathologically there was periportal and centrilobular necrosis of hepatocytes and bile duct hyperplasia in AFB1 treated rats, however, when AGE was given along with AFB1 the hepatic parenchyma was apparently normal indicating the beneficial effect of AGE in protecting liver against AFB1 induced injury.
