BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF ZINNIA PLANT

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity
of Zinnia elegans leaves ethanolic extract comparing with silymarine, (as
standard) in rats. The data revealed scored high concentration of phenolic
compounds (2.6mg/g d.w of plant), which significantly reflected an antioxidant
scavening activity (88%) at 250 ppm of Zinnia elegans leaves ethanolic extract.
The hepatoprotection activity of Zinnia elegans leaves ethanolic extract
(50, 100 and 125 mg/100g b.w) comparing with silymarine (0.2 g/kg b.w)
against CCl4 toxicity. The ethanolic extract improved the AST and ALT activity
and recovered the function of kidney by decreasing the urea and creatinine
contents, the administration of Zinnia elegans leaves ethanolic extract
significantly suppress the oxidative stress via its direct scavenging activity
