Abstract :
The hepatoprotective activity of extract of mahkota dewa fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) was investigated against Carbon Tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatic damage.Carbon Tetrachloride at a dose of 0,3 ml/kg body weight produced liver damage in mice as manifested by the rise in serum level of Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT) and Glutamate Oxaloacetat Transaminase (GOT) to 31,4286 ± 2,4398 and 87,1429 ± 2,4398 respectively, compared to respective control values of 23,0000 ± 1,7889 and 39,0000 ± 3,6968.Pretreatment of mice with mahkota dewa fruit’s extract at concentration of 2,5 ; 5; 10 mg/kg body weigth significantly prevent (p < 0,001) Carbon Tetrachloride induced rise in serum enzymes and the estimated values of GPT was 27,2857 ± 1,9760 ; 22,8750 ± 2,1002 and 22,1667 ± 1,3239 respectively, and GOT was 53,0000 ± 8,6410 ; 45,1429 ± 3,4365 and 40,6667 ± 7,1740 respectively.The result indicate that the mahkota dewa fruit (Phaleria macrocarpa) extract possesses hepatoprotetective activity which probably related to its antioxidant activity.
