Enclosure-I
6. Brief Resume on the Intended Work
6.1 Need of the Study:
The liver is the key organ of the body playing major role in maintaining homeostasis. It is involved
with almost all the biochemical pathways related to growth, fight against disease, nutrient supply, energy
provision and reproduction1. Hepatoprotection is the ability to prevent damage to the liver. Hepatotoxicity
implies chemical-drive liver damage.
Liver is the main organ involved in the metabolism of biological toxins and medicinal agents. Such
agents are always associated with the disturbance of hepatocytes resulting in generation of Reactive Oxygen
Species (ROS) 2. Liver damage ranging from subclinical icteric (Jaundice) hepatitis to necro-inflammatory
hepatitis, cirrhosis, and carcinoma has been proved to associate with the redox imbalance and Oxidative
Stress (OS) 3.
More than 900 drugs have been implicated in causing liver injury4, and it is the most common reason for the
drugs to be withdrawn from the market, such as troglitazone, bromfenac, rovafloxacin, ebrotibine,
nefazodone, and ximedagatran5.Injury to hepatocyte and bile duct cells lead to accumulation of bile acid
inside liver. This promotes further liver damage6.
Medicinal herbs are significant source of drugs. Latest trend has shown increasing demand of
phytodrugs and some medicinal herbs have hepatoprotective potential. Silymarin, a flavonoid ligand mixture
extracted from Silybum marianum (milk thistle) is a popular remedy for hepatic diseases. Therefore, it is
proposed to test the hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of Vigna mungo.
Enclosure-II
6.2 Review of literature
An extensive literature review has been carried out to find whether similar work has been reported elsewhere and indicates no similar reports. The following is a brief reportof literatures. Literature surveys indicates, Vigna mungo Family - Fabaceae, grows 90% in South Asia and
adjacent regions (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar)
It is used as excellent sex tonic, as nervine tonic, used in hair disorders, digestive system disorders like
dysentery and diarrhea, and also used in rheumatism.
Vigna mungo L.(Fabaceae) was reported to be used in a variety of disease conditions of liver in Indian
traditional system of medicine7.
Literature survey reports following activities of Vigna mungo.
Antidiabetic activity8.
Antifungal activity9.
Antioxidant10.
Immunostimulatory activity11.
Hepatoprotective activity12.
Enclosure-III
6.3 Objective of Study
Hepatic disorders pose a great difficulty in the treatment especially the hepatitis, jaundice, necrosis, cirrhosis
etc.
To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of seeds of Vigna mungo. Hepatoprotective activity is the ability to
prevent damage to the liver. The liver plays a central role in transforming and cleaning chemicals and is
susceptible to the toxicity from these agents, which results in many liver diseases.
Therefore, in the present study, the hepatoprotective activity of extract of Vigna mungo seeds in
hepatotoxicity induced by the models like ethanol, rifampicin will be evaluated.
Enclosure-IV

Enclosure –V
7.2 Method of Collection of Data
The study is planned on normal rats and work is designed in following phases.
Phase 1: In this phase it is proposed to induce liver damage by rifampicin and alcohol and
assess the same by measuring enzyme levels in normal adult albino rats of either sex.
Phase 2: To study the effect of Vigna mungo seeds extract in the above animals.
Phase 3: To study the antioxidant activity of Vigna mungo seeds extract in normal adult
Albino rats of either sex.
Inclusion Criteria
1) Normal Wistar albino rats of either sex weighing between 180-220 gms.

2) The animals where the enzyme levels (SGOT, SGPT, ALP and Total Bilirubin) are not in normal
range.
Study Sampling1) Blood sampling is done from retro orbital sinus.
2) Enzyme levels are measured at different interval of time.
3) Statistical significance is calculated by student t- test.
4) The total duration will be approximately 10 months.
Enclosure –VI
7.3 Does the study require any investigation on animals? If so, please prescribe briefly
Yes, the above study requires investigation on animals that is albino rats for hepatoprotective
activity.
7.4 Has the ethical clearance has been obtained from your institution in case of 7.3
Yes, the study is cleared from institutional animal ethics committee (IAEC Certificate enclosed).
