Hepatic tissue recovery in albino rat, after 3 weeks simultaneous administration of carbon tetrachloride (1 mL/kg b.wt) with different doses of Chelidonium majus was studied. Fibrotic change was prevented with both doses, while near normal tissue condition with microsteatosis and few necrotic cells was noted with the high dose.
