Abstract
Hunaleyo et al. studied the effects of administration of Phyllanthus amarus on garlic-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats and found that the different doses of the extract of P. amarus used significantly decreased the levels of liver enzymes and alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin. They also found increases in total protein and albumin and therefore concluded that P. amarus may have hepatocurative effect in this setting.
