[The effect of eplir on an experimental toxic lesion of the liver]. / Vliianie eplira na toksicheskoe porazhenie pecheni v éksperimente.

A hepatoprotector of phospholipid nature eplir extracted from silt mud was shown to prevent like essentiale in CCl4-hepatitis in rats the development of the liver parenchyma necroses, to promote the maintenance of the normal activity of enzymes in hepatocytes, to stabilize lysosomes, to stimulate the antitoxic and excretory functions of the liver, to reduce hyperfermentemia. The mechanism of action of eplir is determined by the antioxidant properties, a decrease of lysophosphatide formation and the inclusion of phosphatidylcholine in membranes.
