Ginger oleoresin's hepatoprotective role can be attributed to its free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, and hypolipidemic activities and is partially mediated by the 6-gingerol, shogaol, and zingerone of its active component. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is used to treat many diseases and to prevent such diseases. Aim of the work:Evaluation of the effects of cinnamon and ginger extracts administration on Hepatotoxicity adult male albino rats. Materials and Methods: The groups were divided into five adult male albino rats of a local strain: Group I: acted as a control group with regular salines, group II: hepatotoxicity caused by acrylamid, groups III: hepatotoxicity plus cinnamon, group IV: hepatotoxicity plus ginger, group V: hepatotoxicity plus cinnamon and ginger. Samples for alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate transfers of amino [AST], urea, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol, triglyceride [TG], malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor α [TNF], superoxide dismutase [SOD], glutathione peroxidase [GPX], as well as total antioxidant [TAC] levels were obtained at the end of the experimental period.  Results: Administration of cinnamon and ginger to hepatotoxic rats led to a significant decrease in the mean value of ALT, AST, urea, creatinine, BUN, MDA, and TNF. In addition, it is associated with a significant increase of SOD, GPX, and TAC. Conclusion: Cinnamon and ginger have a protective effect against abnormalities in hepatotoxic rats due to its several protective properties.}, keywords = {acrylamide,Ginger,Cinnamon,Hepatotoxicity,albino}, url = {https://ijma.journals.ekb.eg/article_130873.html}, eprint = {https://ijma.journals.ekb.eg/article_130873_f315ffb2d36a21edc21c854da6311cc1.pdf} }
