- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigated the hepatoprotective effect of purple potato extract (PPE) against D-galactosamine (GaIN)-induced liver injury in rats. PPE was administered once daily for 8 days and GaIN was injected 22 hours before the rats were killed. The results suggest that PPE has hepatoprotective effects against GaIN-induced hepatotoxicity through inhibition lipid peroxidation or inflammation in rats.
