ABSTRACT
The study investigated the effect of effect of
hydro-alcohol extract ofAmaranthus hybridus on weight and liver architecture
ofthioacetamide induced hepatotoxicity. Six groups of animals were used with
six rats in each group: The control sets were made up of positive, negative and
normal while test groups were treated with lOOmg/kg, 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg body
weight of Amaranthus hybridus. The administration of the Amaranthus hybridus
extract was orally at single doses per day for nine (9) consecutive weeks.
Treatment with TAA showed evident signs of injuries to the liver, and reduced
animal weight. Those treated with Amaranthus hybridus extract gained weight
compared to those without treatment.
