Comparative Study of Synthetic and Herbal Hepatoprotective Agents on Serum Liver Enzyme Levels

Abstract

Hepatoprotective agents are significant in reducing liver damage as liver diseases are a significant health issue among the global population. The wide usage of synthetic hepatoprotective drugs is losing popularity to herbal alternatives, whose character is based on its natural origin and a small number of side effects. The purpose of this study is to comparatively determine indispensable results alongside synthetic and herbal hepatoprotective aids on indispensable liver enzyme amounts such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in test animals. The findings reveal that the synthetic and herbal agents have significant effects of lowering the high levels of liver enzymes, and the herbal ones prove to be similar in their effects as well as possess improved safety conditions. The results indicate the possible utilization of herbal hepatoprotective compounds as efficient substitutes of the traditional synthetic medications.
