211A STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF RICINUS COMMUNIS ON SERUM ALANINE AMINOTRANSFERASE (ALT) AND ASPARTATE AMINOTRANSFERASE (AST) ACTIVITY IN RABBITSParacetamol is a recognized antipyretic, analgesic drug which produces hepatic necrosis in high doses. Ricinus communis elaborates a vast array of biologically active compounds that are chemically diverse and structurally complex. Estimated levels of Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Hepatoprotective action of Ricinus communis in High doses of Paracetamol on serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) activity. ALT in all the groups including Control group (A) was (51.8±4.56 IU/L). Paracetamol treated group (B) the ALT level increased at 48 hours and continued to be high up to 60 days (136.4±20.73 IU/L) then decreased to (113.7±11.35 IU/L) at 90 day. AST in all the groups including Control group (A) was (22.5±1.23 IU/L). Appropriate antioxidant in appropriate doses as a matter of routine whenever hepatotoxic or potentially hepatotoxic drugs are prescribed. In Paracetamol treated group (B) the AST level increased at 48 hours and continued to be high up to 60 days (99.4±9.73IU/L) then decreased to (85.4±7.39 IU/L) at 90 day.zaheermujawarjnmc@gmail.comResearch922019Ricinus communis,Paracetamol,Alanine aminotransferaseMujawar Jahir Rauf,Kale B.PAssistant Professor, Dr.Vithalrao Vikhe Patil Foundations Medical College and Hospital Ahmednagar , Maharashtra 414001, India.,Associate Professor, Government medical College Datia MP India.
