liver ofmale Sprague Dawleyrats. Ten Sprague-Dawley rats (7-11
weeks old) were randomly assigned into two groups; A and B.
Aqueous extract of S. officinalis leaves (300 mg/kg body weight) was
administered orally to the rats in group B while the rats in group A
received equal volume of normal saline for 14d. At termina??on of
