Resumen

Se examinó el extracto acuoso y etanólico (100 mg/kg) de Luffa acutangula Linn (frutos) para determinar la actividadantihepatotóxica 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 losniveles séricos de transaminasas (SGPT y SGOT), fosfatasa alcalina (ALP) y bilirrubina. La signifi cativa actividadhepatoprotectora de Luffa acutangula es comparable a la de la silimarina, agente hepatoprotector estándar, lo quejustifi ca su uso en afecciones del hígado.
