Experimental animals were divided into five groups, six rabbits in each. These were: group NC (normal control), group, TC (toxic control) and group ST i.e. silymarine administered group at dose rate (50) mg\/kg body weight (BW). Group ET1 and group ET2 treated with (ZOX-LME) at dose 200 mg\/kg BW and 400 mg\/kg BW. CCl4 administration caused significant (P&gt; 0.05) impairment in serum liver enzymes, blood factors and other serum indices. Treatment with (ZOX-LME) significantly (P&lt;0.05) reduced and normalized the levels of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and hematological indices. Also significant (P&lt; 0.05) reduction was observed in creatinine, urea, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and albumin and glucose concentrations. The altered levels of lipid profile and serum electrolytes (Ca, Mg, Cl, Na, K, and P) were significantly (P&lt;0.05) change toward normal levels with (ZOX-LME) feeding. In addition (ZOX-LME) ingestion caused significant improvement in GSH, GST and CAT levels, while reducing the TBARS levels, exhibited antioxidant capacity. Also (ZOX-LME) showed increase inhibition against percent scavenging of 2, 2-diphenile-1-picrylehydrazyle (DPPH) free radical. Significant (P&lt;0.05) normalizing effects were observed with high dose 400 mg\/kg BW of (ZOX-LME and were equivalent to silymarine administered groups. The histological study of liver supported the hepatoprotective and renal curative activity of (ZOX-LME).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.246980","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,27]],"date-time":"2021-08-27T12:26:06Z","timestamp":1630067166000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Protective effects of Zizyphus oxyphyla on liver and kidney related serum biomarkers in (CCl4) intoxicate rabbits"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7186-5680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"B.","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Malakand, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4779-6707","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"I.","family":"Ilahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Malakand, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9830-4544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
