Abstract
Molokhia (Corchorius olitorius) is a common edible and famous vegetable in
Egypt has high nutritive value as well as antioxidant compounds. Therefore the
protective effects of molokhia against organephosphorous pesticide (malathion) -
induced hepatotoxiclty in rats were studied. The results revealed that administration of
malathion (20ppm) for 4 weeks. significantly depleted glutathione content (GSH). total
protein (TP) and albumin. elevated glutathione-S-transferase (GST). alanine
aminotranferase (ALT). aspartate aminotranferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase
(ALP) activities (Ps0.05).However. the intake of molokhia (100mgfkg body weight)
alone or molokhia supplemented to malathion treated group significantly alleviated
GSH. TP and albumin depletion and the elevation of GST. ALT, AST and ALP
activities (P<0.05). These results indicate malathion- induced hepatotoxicity and
highlight the protective action of molokhia as a potential protective agent against
malathion induced hepatotoxicity. suggesting that molokhia contains specific active
compound(s) or the considerable amounts of general compounds possessing the
antagonistic (phenolic c ampeunds. vitamin A. Vitamin C and chlorophyll).
