The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of controlled-diet in the treatment of rats with hepatotoxicity caused by CCl4. The serum level of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, direct bilirubin, and total bilirubin was measured using standard methods and compared among group I (Normal control), group II (CCl4 control; hepatotoxic rats without treatment), group III (Hepatotoxic rats treated with 5.2 mg/kg of standard drug only), and group IV (Hepatotoxic rats treated with 5.2 mg/kg of standard drug + controlled diet). The result showed that the level of the biochemical parameters was significantly lower (p 0.05) in the level of measured biochemical parameters between groups III and IV. These results reaffirm the hepatocurative effect of the standard drug (Livolin). It also indicates that the controlled diet used in this research has no positive (curative) effect in the treatment of liver disease. |
