This study is aimed to investigate the effect of ethanolic extract of Eruca Sativa
leafs in liver and kidney enzymes of mice. Thirty male albino mice average weight
25gm were divided into 5 groups included group1 (normal diet), group2 (injected
with carbon tetrachloride CCl4), group3 (injected with CCl4 + 0.5mg/ml Eruca
sativa extract), group4 (injected with CCl4 + 1mg/ml Eruca sativa extract), and
group5 (injected with CCl4 + 2mg/ml Eruca sativa extract). Serum liver and kidney
functions tests were estimated. The results showed that Eruca Sativa extracts at
concentration 2mg/ml improved liver and kidney functions. We concluded that,
Eruca sativa extracts may exert their prophylactic and treatment role against
oxidative stress produced by CCl4 by increasing/maintaining the levels of
antioxidant molecules and antioxidant enzymes.
Key words: Eruca Sativa, Liver, Enzymes.
