The extract was standardized using GC-MS. The hepatoprotective activity of this extract was studied using ethanolinduced liver toxicity in rats. This respective activity was assessed through monitoring liver function tests through the measurement of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and protein content. Further, hepatic tissues were also subjected to histopathological studies. Pretreatment of the standardized C. xanthorrhiza ethanolic extract (500 mg/kg) reduced the fatty liver symptoms and significantly (p < 0.05) inhibit the increase of respective serum enzyme levels. The results of the present study indicated that C. xanthorrhiza possess hepatoprotective effects which could act as an effective treatment for acute hepatic diseases.
