The effects of eugenol, which has a high antioxidant capacity, alone and together with ethyl alcohol, an oxidative stress factor, were evaluated histopathologically and biochemically. In this study, 40 Wistar albino female rats weighing 300-390 g were used. Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups of 10 and fed with standard pellet type feed as ad libitum. Group 1 (Control group) with 3 ml Serum physiological (Sf)/day via gavage to create the same stress as other groups, Group 2 (Ethyl alcohol group), 40% Ethyl alcohol with 3 ml/day via gavage, Group 3 (Eugenol Group) with 50 mg/kg/day via gavage, Group 4 (Ethical alcohol + Eugenol group) was given for 30 days as 40% Ethyl alcohol 3 ml/day via gavage + 50 mg/kg/day via gavage eugenol 3 ml/day via gavage. At the end of the study, biochemical analyzes and histological preparations were made in blood and liver tissue from rats. When eugenol is consumed together with ethyl alcohol, it was found that ethanol reduces hepatotoxicity on the liver. A statistically significant difference was found in AST, ALT, ALP, LDH and TRIG levels in the eugenol rats compared to the alcohol group rats (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the groups at BILD, BILT, CHOL, AFP and CEA125 levels (p < 0.05). The use of eugenol alone increased the value of TAS. It was determined that the use of eugenol alone decreased the TOS values while increasing the TAS value. According to the biochemical data we obtained, it is possible to say that eugenol reduces the hepatotoxicity formed as a result of ethanol application by changing the oxidant-antioxidant balance in favor of oxidants. The results obtained from histopathological examination of the liver support biochemical data and eugenol have been shown to reduce hepatotoxic effects on the liver when consumed with ethanol.
