Effect of Xiao Chaihu Decoction on the Release of NO from Mouse Peritoneal Microphage in Vitro / 中药新药与临床药理

To explore the antihepatotoxic mechanism of alcohol_extract of Xiao Chaihu Decoction (XCD),Giress reagent was used to observe the effect of the sero_alcohol_extract of XCD and alcohol_extract of XCD on the release of NO from mouse peritoneal macrophage in vitro.The results showed that alcohol_extract of XCD had no effect on the release of NO while the production of NO was improved in the cultured peritoneal macrophage after the medication of sero_alcohol_extract of XCD for 120min,180min and 240min.It is indicated that improving the release of NO from macrophage was one of the mechanisms of XCD in counteracting hepatic damage.
