Preventive Effect and Mechanism of Xiaoyao San on Liver Injury Induced by
Objective: To study the preventive effect and mechanism of Xiaoyao San on rat acute liver injury induced by Tripterygium wilfordii. Method: Sixty rats were randomly divided into control group
T. wilfordii model group
ganlixin group
low-dose
medium-dose and high-dose groups of Xiaoyao San. Each group was respectively fed with the corresponding dose of drug for 4 days and then fed with decoction of T. wilfordii for 4 days to make the model except control group. Liver indexes was calculated
alanine aminotransferase(ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase(AST)
interleukin-1β(IL-1β)
tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-αwere measured
and liver pathology was detected. Results: Compared with control group
liver indexes
ALT
AST
IL-1β and TNF-α in model group were significantly increased
and significant pathological changes of liver tissue were found(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group
all doses group of Xiaoyao San and ganlixin group could effectively decrease liver indexes
ALT
AST
IL-1β
TNF-α and pathological changes of liver tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with ganlixin group
liver indexes
ALT
AST
IL-1β
TNF-α and pathological changes of liver tissue of all doses group of Xiaoyao San was not significantly different. Conclusion: T. wilfordii-induced acute liver injury is associated with inflammatory injury via IL-1β and TNF-α. Xiaoyao San can protect the liver injury induced by T. wilfordii by inhibiting inflammatory injury.
