Abstract

Alcohol consumption has a long history in human existence and is implicated as one of the major risk factors in the development of liver diseases. The comparative impact of locally made (burukutu and pito) sorghum-based beer and Star Larger beer on the liver biomarkers of albino rats was investigated. 35 albino rats were grouped into 7 groups of 5 rats each. Group one served as the control group and received only distilled water. Group 2 and 3 received 10 and 20 mL/kg b.wt of pito, groups 4 and 5 received 10 and 200 mL/kg b,wt of burukutu, while group 6 and 7 received 10 and 20 mL/kg of Star Larger beers, respectively, for 21 days after which the liver function parameters were assessed. There was a significant decrease (p<0.05) in albumin level of the treatment groups when compared with the control group. Bilirubin and ALP showed no significant difference (p<0.05) from the control group. There was no significant difference (p<0.05) in ALT levels of burukutu and Start Larger when compared with the control group, however, the groups treated with pito showed a significant increase (p<0.05) when compared with the control group. There was a significant increase (p<0.05) in all the treatment groups when compared with the control group, where group 3, which was treated with the higher dose of pito (20 mL/kg b.wt.) had the highest significant increase(p<0.05). albumin levels of the treatment groups showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) when compared with the control group. The three beers compared are toxic to the liver, with pito having the greatest toxicity.

Abstract

Natural products have long been used as therapeutic agents; however, many lack comprehensive scientific evaluation of their toxicity. This study investigates the potential toxicity of Phyllanthus niruri (P. niruri) aqueous leaf extract in Wistar rats. Twenty-five male albino rats were randomly divided into five groups of five animals each. Groups 2 through 5 received daily oral doses of 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg body weight of the extract, respectively, while Group 1 served as the control and received only grower mash and distilled water for 28 days. Toxicological assessment was conducted through hematological profiling and evaluation of liver and kidney function using standard biochemical methods. The results indicated a significant, dose-dependent increase (p<0.05) in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), suggesting hepatic stress. In contrast, albumin, creatinine, and urea levels did not differ significantly (p<0.05) from the control group, indicating no observable impairment in renal function. Hematological analysis revealed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in packed cell volume (PCV) and red blood cell (RBC) count, while white blood cell (WBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) significantly increased with higher extract doses. These findings suggest that while P. niruri is traditionally regarded as a natural remedy, its aqueous leaf extract may induce hematological and hepatic alterations at elevated doses. Caution is therefore advised in its use, particularly in unregulated or prolonged applications.
