Abstract

The liver is more susceptible to the harmful effects of toxicological substances like carbon tetrachloride (CCL4). CCL4 releases free radicals that damage liver, promote lipid peroxidation, and release free radicals, which antioxidants can be administered to prevent, such as bromelain. This research aimed to investigate if bromelain antioxidants affect the CCL4-induced histopathological characteristics of albino mice livers. A total of 49 animals were divided into seven equal groups. Liver was harvested from mice to assess Histopathological changes, and immunohistochemically changes (Caspase-9). The current study showed a better protective effect in mice dosed with bromelain solution loaded on gold nanoparticles.The liver is more susceptible to the harmful effects of toxicological substances like carbon tetrachloride (CCL4).
