Green Tea Extract’s Hepatoprotective Properties against Cyclophosphamide-Induced Liver Damage

Background: Consuming green tea has been linked to a decreased risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and
neurological diseases. For this reason, green tea extract has been added to diets along with other multivitamins
and supplements. Aim of the Work: investigating the impact of cyclophosphamide (CP) on male albino rat livers
and the potential protective function of green tea extract. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four adult male albino
rats were used in the current study. Three equal groups were formed out of them, each with eight rats. For 9 weeks,
Group I (the control group) received I. P. (intraperitoneal) injections of normal saline at a dosage of 0.5 mg/kg body
weight twice a week. Group II received 2 weeks of intraperitoneal injections of CP at a dose of 150 mg/kg/day.
Group III: For 2 weeks, rats received intraperitoneal injections of 150 mg/kg/day of CP in addition to 3 weeks of
oral green tea extracts (50 mg/kg/day). Results: The livers of rats given CP exhibited a number of histological
and histochemical alterations. Green tea was used to ameliorate these modifications. Conclusion: The current
study demonstrated the preventative and curative effects of green tea on albino rats’ livers following CP exposure.
