Products   Pachnam™ Liquid & Tablets - Mode of Action Picrorhiza kurroa (Kutki) - Hepato protective and enzyme stimulant The hepatoprotective action of Picroliv was evident by its ability to lower the Cd-induced liver function parameters – the serum enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Bile flow and biliary Cd (cadmium) also increased as a result of Picroliv's choleretic property.
