Ameliorative Effect of Herbal Medicine in the Management of Hepatotoxicity.

Reactive oxygen species production, inflammation, an elevated serum profile, mitochondrial dysfunction, and up-regulation of proapoptotic mediators are the main mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-related hepatotoxicity, which results in hepatocyte disorders such as hepatitis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis. The article aims to examine a prospective herbal remedy and its bioactive ingredients in terms of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic capabilities, which offer superior protection against liver damage during chemotherapy administration. Plants including Silybum marianun, Nelumbo nucifera, Phyllanthus amarus, Plumbago zeylanica, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Citrus limon, and Nigella sativa may have hepatoprotective properties, according to the author.
