Hepatoprotective activity of Luffa echinata fruitsThe different extracts of the fruits of Luffa echinata Roxb.(Cucurbitaceae) were tested for their hepatoprotective activityagainst CCl(4) induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. The degree ofprotection was measured by using biochemical parameters likeserum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamicpyruvate transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), totalprotein (TP) and total albumin (TA). The petroleum ether, acetoneand methanolic extracts showed a significant hepatoprotectiveactivity comparable with those of Silymarin.

| Procedure of Use |
If the animal ingests foreign body such as iron wire and nail along with the fodder, the thing may remain lodged in the stomach and may give pain to the animal. If the animal encounters this problem, female farmer Rukhiben Patel of Ahmedabad district of Gujarat soaks 1 kg turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder and a whole plant of "kukadvel" (Luffa echinata) in water. She then heats the mixture and adminsters the resultant decoction to the animal two times in a day. This dislodges the foreign body which is purged out with the faeces. |
