ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of ethanol extract of Cassia mimosoides Linn. (EE-CML) on dimethylnitrosamine-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats and to explore its therapeutic mechanism. Methods Sixty male SD rats were equally divided into 6 groups normal group, model group, high-, middle-and low-dose EE-CML groups (at the doses of 12.6 g/kg, 4.2 g/kg, and 1.4 g/kg respectively) and colchicine (0.2 mg/kg). Intervention treatment with EE-CML by gastric gavage was carried out in the rats with hepatic fibrosis which was induced by dimethylnitrosamine simultaneously and their effects were compared with the group treated with colchicine. The model group and the normal group were given the same volume of saline once a day. Four weeks after treatment, hepatic function, levels of serum hyaluronic acid (HA), serum laminin (LN), serum aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PCIII), hepatic hydroxyproline (Hyp), and histopathological changes in rats were assayed and examined. Results Compared with those in the model group, in the differences of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level in three EE-CML groups and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level in high dose EE-CML group were statistically significant (P
