antihepatotóxica en ratas druckrey mediante la hepatotoxicidad inducida por tetracloruro de carbono (CCl4)
y paracetamol (PCM). Se demostró que el extracto posee un efecto hepatoprotector signifi cativo, ya que reduce los
niveles séricos de transaminasas (SGPT y SGOT), fosfatasa alcalina (ALP) y bilirrubina. La signifi cativa actividad
hepatoprotectora de Luffa acutangula es comparable a la de la silimarina, agente hepatoprotector estándar, lo que
justifi ca su uso en afecciones del hígado.},
