ABSTRACT
0.05), the same results were seen in the interferential experiment groups and the positive group. There were no alternating effects between nano red elemental selenium and CCl4. Conclusion In the present paper, nano red elemental selenium does not show an adverse effect on the liver of rats and a protective effect on liver injury induced by CCl4.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe the combined effects of nano red elemental selenium (Nse) and glucurolactone (Glu) on forming liver fibrosis in rats, and to search for a low dose of Nse with therapeutic effect. METHODS: According to the weighted modification method, six compound-dose groups and 2 control groups were set. The rats were given (sc) CCl4 for 10 wk, and the administration began at 4 wk. The indices related to acute liver damage were determined 3 wk after the administration, and to chronic liver damage 6 wk after the administration. RESULTS: At the stage of acute liver damage and within the therapeutic duration of 3 wk, Nse should be used at a larger dose in combination with Glu. Theoretical analysis showed that Nse 200 μg·kg-1 alone was available by the weighted modification method. However, in the combination of Nse and Glu for the chronic liver injury, Nse should be given at a low dose. There was a synergism between Nse and Glu, and some compound-dose groups showed the preventive and therapeutic effect, especially in a dose of Nse 100 μg·kg-1 + Glu 60 mg·kg-1. But theoretical analysis exhibited that Nse 100 μg · kg-1 + Glu 60 mg·kg-1 (ig) might be an optimal combination. CONCLUSION: The combination of Nse and Glu has significant effect in prevention and treatment of the live fibrosis in rats, and it can decrease dose of Nse used.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the effects of nano red elemental selenium on liver protection, tumor inhibition and immune regulation. [WT5FZ]Methods: [WT5BZ]Models of acute liver injury induced by CCl 4, S 180 tumor growth and immune regulation were used. Results: Nano red elemental selenium could increase blood and liver Se contents, inhibit the increase of liver MDA and serum AST induced by CCl 4, decrease tumor weight and increase phagocytic ratio and NK cell activity in S 180 bearing mice, increase immune activities in normal mice. All these improvements were statistically significant (P
