dc.descriptionBackground: Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) plays central role in the development of liver fibrosis. In HSC activation, the transforming growth factor-1 (TGF-1) is considered to be the main stimuli factor. Diosgenin are the steroidal saponin and found in Trigonella foenum graecum Linn (Fenugreek) and some other species of Dioscorea. Diosgenin attenuates HSC activation by inhibiting transforming growth factor. Aim: In present study an attempt was made to explore the effect of diosgenin on liver fibrosis. Methods: Liver fibrosis was induced in rats by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) 1 ml/kg intraperitoneally twice a week for 28 days and cisplatin 3mg/kg intraperitoneally at 0, 1, 3 week for 4 weeks. The extent of liver fibrosis was assessed by measuring the weight of liver and levels of total bilirubin (TBL), hydroxyproline (HP) and serum enzymes due to deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). Results: The administration of diosgenin reduced the liver weight of CCl4 and cisplatin treated animals and reduced the TBL, HP level and serum enzymes significantly and inhibited liver fibrosis induced by CCl4 and cisplatin. Conclusion: The result obtained in the present investigation, Diosgenin treatment exerted significant hepatoprotective effect in animals by inhibiting ECM deposition and HSCs activation.en-US
