Juglans regia (Juglandaceae) has been used in Iranian traditional medicine in the treatment of diabetes. In this experience the preventive effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Juglans regia leaves on activity of AST and ALT in alloxan - induced diabetic rats was investigated. Methods

In order to induce diabetes, alloxan was administered as a single dose(120 mgkg- 1BW), intraperitoneally. At the initial and the end of 2 and 6 weeks of experimental period, rats were fasted for 8h, and then fasting blood samples were collected in heparinated tubes. Sampling was performed from the orbital sinus. Results
The results indicate a significant difference in AST and ALT level in the diabetic group compared with the other groups (P<0.05). Histological studies of the liver of these animals, demonstrated the same results. Conclusion
