Isoniazid (H), Rifampicin (R), and pyrazinamide (Z) (27, 54, 135 mg\/kg.b.wt) were co-administration for 50 days to induce hepatotoxicity. Hesperidin 200 mg\/kg and AA 100 mg\/kg p.o were administered 1 h before ATDs administration. At the end of the study, blood and liver tissues were collected and subjected to biochemical and histopathological examination. Biochemical parameters, serum marker enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, Gamma glutamyltransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase), lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, GSH, glutathione peroxidase, GR, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E), lipid profile, membrane bound ATPase, and histological changes of liver were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Our results revealed that HRZ-induced hepatotoxicity was evident by significant (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001) elevation in level of urea, creatinine, bilirubin, liver marker enzymes, lipid profile (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.01), and LPO (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001) along with significant decline in the level of total protein, albumin (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &gt; 0.05), ATPase (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001), and antioxidant enzymes (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
