The hepatoprotective activities of Agrimonia eupatoria L. extract were assessed by measuring hematological and serological levels in SD rats following chemical-induced liver injury. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were dose-dependently decreased in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and D-galactosamine (GalN)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced liver injury in rats. These results revealed significant, dose-dependent hepatoprotective potential for A.eupatoria extract as it restored the majority of abnormal hepatic parameters in experimental liver damage in rats; it may therefore be useful in recovery of liver disorders.
