Effect of Consumption of Corchorus olitorius L., in Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Liver Damage in Male Wistar Rats.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has been extensively used in experimental models to demonstrate its hepatotoxic potential. Humans are often exposed to it where it is used in petrol additives, refrigerants, catalyst in polymer formation and in pesticides. In this study, the effect of leaves of Corchorus olitorius L. in CCl4-induced liver damage in male wistar rats was assessed using alanine…
