Abstract EFFECT OF HONEY AND SOME OF HERBS FOR TREATMENT LIVER PHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDERS USING EXPERIMENTAL ANIMALS This study was undertaken to study the effect of honey and some of herbs that were suggested in folk medicine for treatment the liver disorders,after knowing their active constituents and their biological activities. Adult’s male albino rats,Sprague-Dawley strains 180-200g were divided into 18 groups,4 rats for each group.All rats were treated subcutaneous injection with carbon tetrachloride (Ccl4)to induce liver disorders except one group.All groups of rats fed on the experimental diet for six weeks as the following:Casein only (Control Negative);Casein after injection with (Ccl4)(Control Positive).Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey)(Group 1);Casein in addition to 20%of (Nigella Sativa)(Group 2); Casein in addition to 20%of (Curcuma Longa)(Group 3);Casein in addition to 20% of (Zingiber Officinale)(Group 4);Casein in addition to 20%of (Piper Nigrum) (Group 5);Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey 10%,and Nigella Sativa 10%) (Group 6);Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey 10%,and Curcuma Longa 10%) (Group 7);Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey 10%,and Zingiber Officinale 10%) (Group 8);Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey 10%,and Piper Nigrum 10%) (Group 9);Casein in addition to 20%of (Nigella Sativa 10%,and Curcuma Longa 10%)(Group 10);Casein in addition to 20%of (Nigella Sativa 10%,and Zingiber Officinale 10%)(Group 11);Casein in addition to 20%of (Nigella Sativa 10%,and Piper Nigrum 10%)(Group 12);Casein in addition to 20%of (Curcuma Longa 10%, and Zingiber Officinale 10%)(Group 13);Casein in addition to 20%of (Curcuma Longa 10%and Piper Nigrum 10%)(Group 14);Casein in addition to 20%of (Zingiber Officinale 10%,and Piper Nigrum 10%)(Group15);Casein in addition to 20%of (Honey 4%,Nigella Sativa 4%,Curcuma Longa 4%,Zingiber Officinale 4%, and Piper Nigrum 4%)(Group 16). At the end of experimental period all groups of rats were killed and blood sample were subjected to determine serum liver enzymes [GOT (AST)and GPT (ALT)]. The results revealed that all diets were higher than control positive and the diets were consisted Curcuma Longa/Zingiber Officinale,Curcuma Longa/Piper Nigrum and Zingiber Officinale/Piper Nigrum were showed very high significant differences (P <0.001)of S.GOT,when compared with control group.On the other hand,all diets were higher than control positive and the control negative and the diets were consisted Nigella Sativa/Zingiber Officinale were showed very high significant differences (P <0.001)of S.GPT,when compared with control group.As for total billirubin the results point to that all diets were higher than control positive and the control negative only showed very high significant differences (P <0.001),when compared with control group.When,the control negative and the diets were consisted Honey and Curcuma Longa/Zingiber Officinale were showed a high significant differences (P <0.01)of direct billirubin,comparing with control group. However,the results refer to that the control negative and the diets were consisted Nigella Sativa,Curcuma Longa,Piper Nigrum,Honey/Nigella Sativa,Honey/ Zingiber Officinale,Honey/Piper Nigrum and mixture of honey and herbs were revealed to very high significant differences (P <0.001)of indirect billirubin,when compared with control group. |
