Moringo Oleifera on the Histology of the liver of wistar rats. Fifteen (15) female adult wistar rats were divided
into three (3) groups. Group I was the Control group that received distilled water only, group II was the
negative control that received 1 g/kg of paracetamol on the 10th day, and group III received 500 mg/kg of the
extract for duration of ten (10) days. Group III was pre-treated with 500 mg/kg of the ethanolic leave extract
of Moringa oleifera before inducing the liver damage on the 10th day with 1 g/kg of paracetamol. Twelve (12)
h after administration, the rats were sacrificed and the liver was fixed immediately in Formalin. The liver tissues
was processed and stained in Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E).The histological observations showed that the
leave extract of Moringa oleifera was hepatoprotective.
