The Department of Life Sciences at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a scientific seminar for doctoral students entitled
“Evaluating the efficacy of an aqueous extract of Leea indica leaves on some physiological and histological variables in male rats treated with diethylsamine (DEN).”
The study, which aimed to evaluate the protective role of an aqueous extract of Leea indica leaves against diethylsamine-induced hepatotoxicity in male rats, was described in detail. DEN is a carcinogenic compound that causes oxidative stress and significant damage to liver tissue.
The results of the study showed a significant improvement in physiological indicators, along with a marked decrease in pathological histological changes in the groups treated with the plant extract. This is attributed to the plant’s content of active compounds with antioxidant properties.
The study confirmed the possibility of adopting the pandicotta berry plant as an adjunct protective agent in reducing liver damage, which opens up future research prospects in the field of using plant extracts in medical and preventive applications.
