Introduction: This study explores the therapeutic potential of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) synthesized using a Helianthemum lippii extract in mitigating cadmium-induced hepatotoxicity Wistar rats. Given increasing environmental and health concerns associated with cadmium exposure, novel eco-friendly strategies are essential. Methods: Ag NPs were characterized X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrometry, energy-dispersive spectroscopy scanning electron microscopy, confirming their formation cubic crystal structure particle sizes ranging from 4.81 to 12.84 nm. A sub-acute toxicity (2 mg/kg 10 mg/kg) was conducted, showing no significant difference compared untreated control rats ( n = 3 animals/group). Subsequently, adult 5/group) divided into group three experimental groups: alone, exposure 50 CdCl 2 drinking water for 35 days, followed by 0.1 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally 15 days. Results: In -exposed group, there decrease body weight increases alanine aspartate transaminase levels p < 0.05 vs. control), indicating hepatotoxicity. Additionally, antioxidant defenses decreased, malondialdehyde elevated. Liver histology revealed portal fibrosis, inflammation, necrosis, sinusoid hepatic vein dilation, cytoplasmic vacuolations. Treatment post-CdCl mitigated several adverse effects on liver function architecture improved weight. Discussion: demonstrates efficacy via green method reducing damage. These findings support applications highlight importance sustainable nanoparticle synthesis methods.
