Background: Lunasin Targeted Extract (ET-Lun) has a pharmacology effect in inhibiting inflammation by decreasing COX-2 and iNOS expression. ET-Lun could increase apoptosis and decrease dysplasia (p \> 0,05). In addition, ET-Lun could decrease EGFR expression in breast cancer rats. The acute toxicity showed ET-Lun has LD50 more than 5000 mg/kg BW and was practically non-toxic. Objective: this study aimed to determine the subchronic toxicity of ET-Lun. Methods: Male and female Sprague Dawley rats (n=40) were divided into 4 groups, the control group and treatment group ET-Lun dose of 250 mg/Kg BW, 500 mg/kg BW, and 750 mg/kg BW. The ET-Lun was administered for 90 days. On the 91st day, the animals were dissected and examined for SGOT-SGPT levels, liver histopathology, and diameter of the central vein. Results: The SGOT-SGPT levels showed no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group (p \> 0.05). On microscopic observation, there was no change or damage to the liver of rats in each group. The diameter of the central vein of the rat liver shows no significant difference between the control and treatment groups. Conclusion: The ET-Lun does not produce adverse effects in liver rats after subchronic treatment.

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the possible ameliorative role of curcumin, capsaicin and their combination against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced hepatic toxicity in mice. Methods: Animals were distributed into five experimental groups: Normal control, vehicle control, curcumin, capsaicin and combined curcumin and capsaicin treatment groups respectively, for 7 days prior to LPS induced liver toxicity (3 mg/kg b.w. in saline). Hepatoprotective effect of individual and combined spice principles were evidenced by the measurement of serum marker enzyme activities such as, SGPT, ALP and TB and it was further confirmed by histopathological observation of liver tissue section. Results: The administration of LPS increased serum nonspecific enzymes (SGOT; 174.2\±3.79 IU/L, SGPT; 124.0\±3.14 IU/L, ALP; 320.15\±3.88 IU/L and total bilirubin level; 2.32\±1.23 mg/dL), however dietary curcumin and capsaicin decreased the activities of these non\–specific serum enzymes including total bilirubin indicating amelioration of the severe LPS induced hepatotoxicity, while the combined spice principles were more significant as shown by the levels of enzymes activities SGOT; 89.9\±1.39 IU/L, SGPT; 85.9\±1.83 IU/L, ALP; 138.4\±2.05 IU/L including total bilirubin level; 0.86\±0.03 mg/dL. Conclusion: Dietary curcumin and capsaicin individually are protective to LPS induced hepatotoxicity, the beneficial effect was found to be more when the two compounds were fed in combination.

Objective: The present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro hepatoprotective activity of unexploited plants, Sphaeranthus amaranthoides and Oldenlandia umbellate\ on CCl4 induced liver injury, which are indigenous to South India. Methods: in the present study the methanolic extracts from Sphaeranthus amaranthoides and Oldenlandia umbellata were studied against the carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity. Results: significant hepatoprotective effect was obtained against carbon tetrachloride induced liver damage as judged from serum marker enzyme activities (SGOT, SGPT, ALT, and TB) and a normal architecture of liver compare to toxic control. Conclusion: the result revealed that methanolic extracts of Sphaeranthus amaranthoides and Oldenlandia umbellata could be useful in preventing CCl4 induced liver injury.

Objective: The present study investigated the sub acute toxicity of the ethyl acetate fraction of asam kandis (Garcinia cowa Roxb) Rinds in mice. Material and Methods: Sub acute toxicity study was carried out by giving orally at dose 500, 1000 dan 2000 mg / kgBW extract to five mice at 21 days. Animals were observed individually for any clinical signs of toxicity or mortality for 14 days. Measured parameters were SGPT levels, serum creatinine levels, weight ratio of liver and kidney. Extract was given orally at dose 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kgBW for 21 days. Observations were done on day 8th, 15th and 22th using blood serum, liver and kidneys of mice. Data were analyzed by using two-way ANOVA followed by Duncan\’s Multiple Range Test. Results: The ethyl acetate fraction of G. cowa at doses 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kgBW gave significant effect on increasing SGPT levels and decreasing levels of serum creatinine (p \<0.05). The length of treatment gave significant effect on decreasing levels of serum creatinine, weight ratio of liver and kidney (p \<0.05). Conclusion: The dosage of the ethyl acetate fraction of asam kandis rinds provides significant effect on the SGPT and serum creatinine levels of male white mice. The duration of administration of ethyl acetate fraction of asam kandis rinds provides significant effect on serum creatinine levels, the weight ratio of liver and kidney organ of male white mice.\
