Study of Rougan Granules on Rat Hepatocirrhosis Induced by Reformative Carbon Tetrachloride Method / 中药新药与临床药理

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the curative effect of Rougan Granules on rats hepatocirrhosis induced by carbon tetra- chloride(CCl_4)with 10 % alcohol and high fat feed.Method The rat model was established by gastric garage of CCh (CCl_4salad oil=11)1 mL/kg twice a week for two weeks,and with 10 % alcohol as drinking water,high fat feed as food.After administration of CCl_4,the rats were divided into 5 groupsthe model group,high-,medium-and low-dosage of Rougan Granules groups,the eolchicine group.And normal control group was also set up.After adminis- tration for 6 weeks,hyaluronic acid,typeⅣcollagen and typeⅢprecollagen in serum were measured and liver histopathol- ogy examination was done.Result The contents of hyaluronic acid,typeⅣcollagen and typeⅢprecollagen in model rats were increased significantly,while Rougan Granules could decrease those increase significantly.Liver histopathology exami- nation showed medium or high fatty degeneration of hepatic cell,obvious hyperplasia of fibrous tissue with fibrous distance broaden and pseudolobuli formed in model group,but in Rougan Granules group the general pathological changes of liver were less.Conclusion Rougan Granules have an effect of experimental anti-hepatocirrhosis in rats.
