Abstract

The recent studies have shown the effect of ethnomedicinal plants on the treatment of fatty liver disease. The purpose of the experiment was to survey the remedial activity of Glycyrrhiza glabra aqueous extract on high-fat diet-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. The synthesized extract had great cell viability dose-dependently, and this method was found to be non-toxic for synthesizing G. glabra. In the study, a total of 10 rats were chosen as the negative control, and 40 rats were treated with a high-fat diet for 4 months. Then, the animals were randomly divided into five subgroups, including negative healthy control, untreated negative control, and three groups receiving the G. glabra aqueous extract at 20, 60, and 180 mg/kg concentrations. After 2 months, the rats were sacrificed, and blood and liver samples of them collected. Different groups of G. glabra could significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decrease the increased concentrations of ALP, AST, ALT, GGT, cholesterol, LDL, triglyceride, total and conjugated bilirubin, and glucose, and enhance HDL, total protein, albumin, SOD, and CAT as compared to the untreated group. Also, G. glabra reduced the degree of hepatic steatosis as compared to the untreated group. It appears that the G. glabra aqueous extract can treat fatty liver disease in rats without any side effect. © 2019, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.
