Studies on liver-protection and promoting bile secretion of gentiopicroside / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study the liver-protection and bile promoting secretion of gentiopicroside administrated ig in rat. Methods Gentiopicroside was administrated ig to the mice with liver injury induced by CCl 4 and D-GlaN. ALT, AST levels in serum and GSH-Px activity in liver were examined. The bile flow rate and the concentration of the main components in the bile of rats after ig administration of gentiopicroside were estimated. Results Gentiopicroside administrated ig decreased the serum ALT and AST levels, increased the liver GSH-Px activity in the mice treated with CCl 4, promoted the secretion of bile and increased the concentration of bilirubin in the bile. Conclusion Gentiopicroside administrated ig exhibited significant liver-protection and promoting bile secretion.
