ABSTRACT
This study evaluated concentrations and the levels of total
bilirubin and direct bilirubm level of a thioacetamide intoxicated wistar rat.
The dried leaves of the Amaranthus hybridus were extracted by cold maceration
method. Intoxication was achieved by administering 0.3g/l thioacetamide daily.
From the result, it showed that there was liver injury in the negative control
with significantly (P < 0.05) higher in bilirubin concentrations when
compared to other groups. The extract gave a minimum therapeutic effect on the
result. It shows no much variation on the dosages, compared to the positive
control (total and direct bilirubin) level with that of test 100mg/kg to
400mg/kg. This showed that hydro ethanolic extract of Amaranthus hybridus had a
bilirubin lowering effect in the thioacetamide intoxicated wistar rat.
