TLDR
Results indicate the hepatoprotective action of the alcohol extract of Chelidonium majus as an antihepatotoxic agent, and significant protection toward CC14-induced elevation of plasma enzymes, changes in bilirubin, cholesterol and liver histology.Abstract:
The efficacy of an alcohol extract of Chelidonium majus as an antihepatotoxic agent was tested on rats with CC14-induced hepatic injury. CCl4 (1 ml/kg; twice a week) and extract (125 mg/kg/day) were administered simultaneously. The parameters studied to assess liver damage were. plasma ALAT, ASAT. AIP, LDH, bilirubin, cholesterol and liver histology. Significant protection toward CC14-induced elevation of plasma enzymes, changes in bilirubin, cholesterol. and microscopic liver damage was observed. These results indicate the hepatoprotective action of the extract.read more

TL;DR: Environmental pollutants have intracellular effects that can be prevented, or cured in part, by precise medicinal plant extracts in two human cell lines, and this appears to be mediated at least in part by the cytochromes P450 modulation.

TL;DR: The risk to benefit ratio of the use of herbal products containing greater celandine can actually be considered as negative, as evidence has to be considered in relationship with the absence of considerable benefits of CM therapy.
