Hepatoxicity of Epimedii Folium in Rat Model Based on Uniform Design and Regression Analysis
Objective: To study the potential hepatotoxicity of Epimedii Folium and explore the reasons for toxicity by the study of the hepatotoxic effect of Epimedii Folium on rats.Method: The experiment was performed by uniform design
and the study factors included original plant
process
dose and course. A total of 220 SD rats were randomly divided as the normal group and the drug group
with 20 in each group
half male and female. The rats were given the corresponding drugs and observed; and on a regular basis
the weight and food intake were determined twice a week. After the administration of each course
the rats were anesthetized with 1% pentobarbital
and blood was collected from abdominal aorta and used to detect the blood biochemical indexes related to liver function. The livers were weighted
and the ratio of liver to brain and body was calculated; and then the livers were made into paraffin sections and histopathologically scored after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The statistical differences between normal control group and drug groups were compared. With the histopathologic score as the gold indicator and other indicators for reference
the effects of each factor on the potential hepatotoxicity were evaluated by regression analysis.Result: Compared with normal group
the animals in group 6 and 8 showed significant differences in indirect bilirubin (DBIL)
γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT)
total bilirubin (TBIL)
the liver weight and the ratio of liver to brain (P<0.05)
and had a higher liver pathological score
which indicated a severer hepatotoxicity. After the regression and comprehensive analysis
under the experiment conditions
epimedium koreanum nakai and epimedium wushanense had a stronger toxicity
the process was negatively correlated with the liver damage degrees
the dose and course were positively correlated
and females were more seriously damaged than males.Conclusion: Epimedium koreanum nakai and epimedium wushanense have a potential hepatotoxicity
which is closely correlated with the four factors. The potential hepatotoxicity of Epimedii Folium shall be given more attention in clinical application and drug development.
