Mallow (Malva neglecta Wallr, M.sylvestris L.) is a plant species, it’s key constituents include mucilage, pectins, glycosides, and flavonoids. The plant is believed to possess antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcerogenic, hepatoprotective, anti-urolithiasis, anticholinesterase, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effects, as well as inhibition against alpha-amylase, alpha-glucosidase, and pancreatic lipase. Despite all the reported hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of mallow, the elevation in liver function test values in our case is quite remarkable and contradicts the information available in the current literature.
The study did not obtain ethical committee approval, as it is a case report about the topic of toxicology.
The authors declared that this study received no financial support.
Thank the Editor in advance for their attention and valuable evaluations. We hope to receive a positive response.
