Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) is a hepatotoxin which induce oxidative stress. Therefore, supplementation with antioxidants may be beneficial in mitigating its hepatotoxic effects. 1,8-Cineole (1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo [2.2.2] octane), commonly referred to as eucalyptol has various therapeutic properties. Hence, this research was conducted to evaluate the protective effects of eucalyptol against CCl4 induced hepatic oxidative damage in rats. Thirty rats were divided randomly into the following three equal groups (n = 10): healthy control, CCl4-poisoned group (1 mL/kg BW dissolved in olive oil (1:1 volume) and eucalyptol treated group (100 mg/kg/day). After treatment period (14 days), serum sample was prepared and liver was taken out for measurement of biochemical parameters including liver enzymes such as Alanine transaminase (ALT) and Aspartate transaminase (AST) as well as oxidative stress markers including Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione (GSH), Catalase (CAT), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX). The results showed that following CCl4 poisoning, a significant reduction in the levels of GSH, GPX, CAT and SOD was observed in the CCl4-poisoned group compared to the control, as well as a significant elevation in the levels of AST, ALT and MDA was observed in the CCl4-poisoned group in comparison with the control (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant increase in the levels of GSH, GPX, CAT and SOD in the eucalyptol treated group compared to the CCl4-poisoned group. However, there was a significant decrease in the levels of AST and ALT in the eucalyptol-treated group compared to the CCl4-poisoned group (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant in the MDA level in the eucalyptol-treated group compared to the CCl4-poisoned one (p > 0.05). Eucalyptol may be effective in the prevention of CCl4-induced liver damage through the reduction of oxidative stress, liver damage caused by elevated liver enzymes, and increasing antioxidant enzymes.
