Hepatoprotective Effects of Tribulus terrestris Hydro-Alcholic Extract on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver- Induced Rats

Non-alcoholic fatty liver induces many complications to the liver tissue and also serum related parameters. Medicinal plants are the safe therapeutic strategy for the treatment of diseases. In this regards, the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris)...
