Abstract
Background: Hepatitis is a liver inflammation that can be acute or chronic and may cause damage to
hepatocytes such as necrosis. Hepatocyte necrosis can be inhibited by antioxidants such as flavonoids
found in Solanum melongena fruit. This study aimed to determine the hepatoprotective effect of Solanum
melongena fruit infusion to inhibit hepatocytes damage in CCl4-induced rats.
Methods: Twenty five male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups, and adapted for 7 days
before the experimental study. Negative and positive groups were given aquadest, Group III−V were given
Solanum melongena fruit infusion containing 1.125 grams, 2.25 grams and 4.5 grams orally for 9 days. At
the 9th day, all rats were induced by 8 mL/kgBW of 10% CCl4 in paraffin, except for the negative group. Rats

were sacrificed on the 11th day, and liver biopsy preparations were made. Hepatocyte necrosis was counted
and was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test.
Results: The study showed that the percentage of necrotic hepatocytes in group III, IV a nd V were lower
than in the positive group. Using Mann-Whitney test, there were significant differences in negative group,
group III, and group V (p0.05). Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there weresignificantly differences among groups
