Mice were separated into eight groups treated intraperitonially for seven days: (1) control, (2) CCl4 (0.02%), (3) aqueous extract (250 mg/kg), (4) aqueous extract (500 mg/kg), (5) CCl4 (0.02%) plus aqueous extract (250 mg/kg), (6) CCl4 (0.02%) plus aqueous extract (500 mg/kg),(7) aqueous extract (250 mg/kg) plus CCl4 (0.02%), and (8) aqueous extract (500 mg/kg) plus CCl4 (0.02%). Mice were killed, then the liver were histopathological examined and the serum levels of (AST), (ALT) and (ALP) tested.The results of histopathology indicated that CCl4 cause severe damage to the mouse liver tissues, however, the protective effects of aqueous extract on liver were observed when CCl4 combined with it. The analysis of the serum indicated a significant increase in the values of AST, ALT and ALP in mice treated with CCl4 and pre and post treatment of the animals with the CCl4. ER -
