Popis: Isoniazid (INH) and rifampicin (RIF), the most common anti-tubercular therapy, causes hepatotoxicity through a multi-step mechanism in certain individuals. The present study was an attempt to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of coenzyme Q10 against INH + RIF-induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar albino rats. Hepatotoxicity was induced by the oral administration of INH + RIF (50 mg/kg b.w. each/day) in normal saline water for 28 days. The hepatoprotective effect of coenzyme Q10 (10 mg/kg b.w./day) was compared with that of the standard drug silymarin (25 mg/kg b.w./day). Animals were sacrificed at the end of the study period, and blood and liver were collected for biochemical, immunological and histological analyses. Evaluation of biochemical parameters showed that coenzyme Q10 treatment caused significant (P
