Abstract

The maximum dose of 13.084 g young pomelo extract did not cause abnormality and death in mice. The protective effects of young pomelo extracts on the model of CCl4 was evident in AST level, demonstrated by a decrease in MDA, a slight increase in GSH, and a decrease in the hepatic necrosis. In conclusion, young pomelo extract with the dose 1,3 g/kg had mild protective activity in a model of hepatitis induced by high doses of CCl4
