Dodder ( sp.) extract prevents cognitive deficits in a rat model of hepatic encephalopathy.

Objective: In our study, the protective effect of dodder plant extract against encephalopathy induced by cholestatic liver disease model was investigated.

Methods: Spraque Dawley rats were used in the study. For the cholestatic liver disease model, the bile duct ligation (BDL) was applied.

Hepatoprotective effects of parsley (Petroselinum Crispum) extract in rats with bile duct ligation.

Background And Study Aims: This study aimed to investigate the possible protective effects of parsley extract (Petroselinum Crispum; PC) against oxidative liver damage caused by bile obstruction in rats.

Material And Methods: Bile duct ligation (BDL) method was used to induce liver injury in rats. The rats were divided into the three groups each consisting of 8 rats; Sham-operated control (C), bile duct ligated + saline treated (BDL), and BDL + PC treated groups.
