Study on Chronic Alcoholic Liver Disease Model of Rats / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish alcoholic liver disease (ALD) model of rats. Method Rats were given wine by ig for 13 weeks. ALD were assessed by the level of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (AST), malonaldehyde (MDA) and pathological changes of liver. Result Over-dose wine can increase the level of serum ALT, AST, and MDA, decrease the level of serum albumin (ALB), and induce hepatic steatosis. Conclusion Alcoholic liver disease model of rats can be established by long-time and over-dose wine. The model can be applied in the research of ALD.
