Abstract: A high potency of Lycopodium clavatum Linn. (200th centesimal potency) is tested for its hepatoprotective action against carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic damage in rat. It has been established from biochemical and histopathological studies that at least 4 doses of Lycopodium 200 can control the CCI4-induced alteration of plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase. alanine aminotransferase. alkaline phosphatase. acetylcholinesterase lactate deyhydrogenase. bilirubin and urea. Protective action of the drug has also been confirmed by microanatomical studies on hepatic tissues.
