C. longa exerted hepatoprotective properties against liver injury induced by heavy metals, such as lead [40] and mercury [41], and toxic pesticides, such as carbofuran [42] and endosulfan [43], by lowering the serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and TB, improving hepatic protein synthesis, and preventing toxicity-induced weight loss in rats and chickens. The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is tuberculosis.
