CONTRIBUTION TO THE PHYTOMEDICINAL STUDY OF THE SOLID AND AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF Anthurium schlechtendalii KUNTH ROOT AGAINST LIVER DAMAGE IN A RAT MODEL

Plants have been used as a herbal treatment option for liver disease in alternative medicine. The current study was carried out to investigate the therapeutic potential of Anthurium schlechtendalii Kunth roots as a hepatoprotective or remission agent for liver damage. A preclinical study was carried...
