The main purpose of this study is to investigate the role of citrus leaf extract in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic injury and its potential molecular mechanism. Carbon tetrachloride was used to construct hepatic injury animal model. To this end, rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, carbon tetrachloride-treated, and two carbon tetrachloride + citrus leaf extract-treated groups. The results show that citrus leaf extract treatment significantly reversed the effects of carbon tetrachloride on the body weight changes and liver index. Besides, treatment with citrus leaf extract also reduced the levels of serum liver enzymes and oxidative stress in a dose-dependent manner. H&E staining and western blotting suggested that citrus leaf extract could repair liver histological damage by regulating AMPK and Nrf-2.

Background: Medicinal plants together with their isolated bioactive compounds are known for their antioxidant properties which constitute therapeutic agents that are routinely employed in the treatment of liver diseases. Aims of the Study: The current study sought to explore the protective role of Warburgia salutaris and its isolated compound, iso-mukaadial acetate against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatic injury. Methods: Thirty-five male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into seven groups of five animals each and injected with CCl4 to induce hepatic injury. Results: Treatment with the crude extract of W. salutaris and of iso-mukaadial acetate significantly reduced the levels of alkaline phosphatase, alanine and aspartate aminotransaminases, total bilirubin and malondialdehyde in a dose dependent manner, when compared to untreated groups. Liver histology revealed a reduction in hepatic necrosis and inflammation. Conclusion: The current investigation has demonstrated that W. salutaris extract and iso-mukaadial acetate could mitigate the acute liver injury inflicted by a hepatotoxic inducer in rats.

Nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is prominent in the liver after stimulation with cytokines and/or lipopolysaccharide. The aim of this study was to investigate the production of NO via iNOS in specific liver cell populations during toxin-mediated and obstructive hepatic injury and fibrogenesis. After a single dose of carbon tetrachloride, iNOS mRNA and nitrite (a metabolic product of NO) were detected only in Kupffer cells. They were not detectable in any cell type after recurrent administration of carbon tetrachloride, including in animals with far advanced cirrhosis (i.e., portal hypertension and/or ascites). After bile duct ligation, a mechanistically different form of liver injury and fibrogenesis, iNOS mRNA and nitrite were identified in all nonparenchymal cells but not in hepatocytes. Twenty-four hours after bile duct ligation, iNOS mRNA and NO production were greatest in Kupffer cells, but after prolonged bile duct ligation, iNOS was found predominantly in sinusoidal endothelial cells. These data indicate that iNOS expression varies temporally and spatially in the liver after injury and also varies with the type of insult.
