Dear Nissar, do you mean single or chronic administration of ethanol - chronic seems to be not very convenient for the screening and single may not lead to necrosis (we used a single dose of 9 ml/kg as 30% sol. while modelling lipid metabolism disorders, and this dose have not lead even to an increase in cytolisis as evidenced by plasma ASaT and ALaT activity)

Regards,

Olga

Thanks Olga for your time; We have to go for Chronic administration (21 days), there after we have to screen serum levels of biochemical parameters (SGPT, SGOT, ALP etc ) and carry out histopathological studies of liver for necrosis

Dear Nissar

You can use CCl4 or paracetamol as a hepatotoxic agent for hepatoprotective screening. I did this experiment  by using CCl4, 3 years ago.

May these link helps you for designing your projects. I found somewhere in these link that

Fifty percent of ethanol (v/v) was administrated at a dose of 5g/kg  for liver damage.

 #Abu Mohammed Taufiqual Islam; of course we can go with CCl4 or paracetamol, but i am specific about toxicant (ALcohol).

Neeraj Sethiya... Thank you, i got the first paper, but not the second one, could u plz send any other link.

Dear Nissar

If you cross search the references of 2nd paper linked here, you may definitely get some more paper of your interest.

As in our lab we restricted with paracetamol and CCl4.

Thanks
