TLDR Tribulus terrestris may protect the liver from drug damage.
The study demonstrates that Tribulus terrestris has a protective effect on liver function in albino rats treated with the hepatotoxic drug cyproterone acetate. The experiment showed that cyproterone acetate significantly increased liver damage markers (ALT, AST, and ALP), but co-administration of Tribulus terrestris extract reduced these levels, indicating its hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties. The findings suggest that Tribulus terrestris could be used as a supplementary therapeutic agent to mitigate drug-induced liver damage.
