[Effect of Danxiongfang and its components on experimental liver injury models induced by CCl4 in mice].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The study investigates the protective effect on liver of Danxionfang and its components. METHOD: Mice are injected with CCl4 to establish liver injured model. ALT, AST, serum albumin, globulin in serum and SOD, MDA in liver and liver histological changes were measured to confirm the ability of protecting liver of Danxiongfang. RESULT: The results show Danxiongfang can inhibit obviously the abnormal increase of ALT, AST in serum and MDA in liver, enhance SOD activity in liver, total protein, albumin, globulin in serum, and decrease liver pathological changes, which suggests Danxiongfang can protect injured liver induced by CCl4. CONCLUSION: Danxiongfang showed powerful protective effect against liver damage induced by CCl4.
