Popis: Objectives: To evaluate the toxicity of lisinopril in liver of male rats and its reversal effect of garlic capsule (GAR) and selenium-vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C (SACE). Methods: Thirty five adult male wistar rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups of 7 animals per group. Group I serves as the control, animals in Groups II, III, IV and V received 28 mg/kg body weight of lisinopril via oral route. Group III was co-treated with GAR at therapeutic dose of 250 mg/kg body weight per day. Group IV was co-treated with SACE at dose of 500 mg/kg body weight. Lastly, group V was co-treated with GAR and SACE at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight respectively, and the experiment last for 8 days. Results: Administration of lisinopril caused systemic toxicity in liver as well as adverse histopathologic changes in the tested tissue. While GAR and SACE significantly (P
