The molecular mechanism underlying the hepatoprotective potential of Moringa oleifera leaves extract against acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity in mice
Moringa oleifera (MO) is ubiquitous in nature with high nutritional and medicinal value. Numerous studies have reported its remarkable activity against an array of clinical complications including hepatotoxicity, but there were no significant reports on its mechanism of hepato-protective action.
