Publication Abstract:
The information on the hepatoprotective effect of Bauhinia malabarica Roxb. (Family Leguminosae) used
in the folkloric medical practice in Malabar coast and Walayar valley of southern India for the treatment
of liver related disorders is completely unknown. Hence, the efficacy of the aqueous methanolic extract of
stem bark of B. malabarica (AqMeOH-Ba) was evaluated for liver function serum biochemical markers
along with the antioxidant markers in liver tissues of Wistar albino rats. The biochemical observations
as well as the histopathological examination of liver sections manifested considerable hepatoprotective
activity of B. malabarica stem bark, and thus validated the folkloric claim.
