Consisted of D1 (received gambier 13 mg/200 g bw + CCl4), D2 (gambier 26 mg/200 g bw + CCl4), D3 (gambier 53 mg/200 g bw + CCl4), K+1 (poliphenol 25 mg/kg bw + CCl4), K+2 (mixtured medicine extract 302 mg/kg bw + CCl4), K- (CCl4), KG (gambier 53 mg/200 g bw), KP (coconut oil), KN (normal group). CCl4 (0.1 ml/kg bw) given twice a week. The all samples was administered orally (1 ml/200 g bb) for six consecutive weeks.

The result showed that extract of gambier repaired the liver damage. Administered extract of gambier showed that gambier haspotential activity as a hepatoprotector significantly (p<0.05) compared with the negative control (K-).
