It has got its own vital role in the physiological system. Metabolism of ingested substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, blood<br />coagulation, and immunomodulation are the primary functions of the liver. 1 out of 3 peoples are affected by liver diseases. Around more than<br />2000 billion people alive with affecting hepatotoxicity. The synthetic drugs to treat liver disorders also cause further damage to the liver. Hence,<br />the popularity of herbal drugs is increasing and their use is wide-spread. Numerous medicinal plants are available to treat hepatoxicity some of<br />the plants are Abrus precatorius, Abutilon indicum, Allium cepa, Andrographis paniculata, Averrhoa carambola, Azadirachta indica, Boerhavia diffusa,<br />Cassia fistula, Curcuma longa, Daucus carota, Eclipta prostrata, Ficus carica, Homalomena aromatica, Indigofera barberi, Lawsonia inermis, Plumbago<br />zylanica, Tamarindus indicus. The hepatotoxicy of various plants is evaluated by various liver cell injury inducing agents viz., chemicals such as<br />carbon tetrachloride, ethanol; drugs such as ibuprofen, paracetamol, thioacetamide, ranitidine, anti-tubercular drugs; metals like cadmium, lead<br />and the activity was estimated by parameters like serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, aspartate amino<br />transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, alanine amino transaminase, total cholesterol and bilirubin levels. The present review focused on different<br />medicinal plants that have been tested in hepatotoxicity in animal models.</p><p>Keywords: Liver, Hepatotoxicity, Herbal drugs, Abrus precatorius, Curcuma longa, Paracetamol, Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, Serum glutamic<br />oxaloacetic transaminase.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research}, author={N, Himaja and S, Neelufar Shama}, year={2015}, month={Jan.}, pages={3–9} }
