Effects of Amino Acid Electuary on Experimental Liver Fibrosis in Rats / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

The effects of amino acid electuary on experimental liver fibrosis in rats with chronic liver injury induced by CCI4 were studied. The results showed that the electuary could prevent the decrease in body weight and food intake, reduce the levels of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase activities, elevate contents of total serum protein and serum albumin, normalize the serum ratio of BCAA to AAA and disordered amino acid pattern and suppress degeneration, necrosis and fibrosis of liver tissues in rats with chromc liver injury. These results indicate that the amino acid electuary has beneficial effects in prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis.
