Objective:To observe effect of astragalosides extract on liver fibrosis in rats.Method: Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control group(A)
model group(B)
colchicine group(C)
low-dose astragalosides group(D)
middle-dose astragalosides group(E) and high-dose astragalosides group(F).Liver fibrosis model in rat was produced with bovine serum albumin(ABS).Group C received colchicine(0.1 mg · kg-1 · d-1);group D
E
F received low-dose astragalosides(15 mg · kg-1 · d-1)
middle-dose astragalosides(30 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high-dose astragalosides(60 mg · kg-1 · d-1) ig respectively.After 55 days
serum levels of serum total protein(TP)
albumin(ALB)
alanine aminotransferase(ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase(AST)
hyaluronic acid(HA)
laminin(LN)
type Ⅲ procollagen(PC-Ⅲ) and type Ⅳ collagen(Ⅳ-C) in different groups were detected.Result: Compared with model group
levels of ALT
AST
HA
LN
PC-Ⅲand Ⅳ-C in the treatment groups were obviously improved.It had significantly statistical difference(P<0.05
P<0.01).Pathological result showed that the liver fibrosis in the treatment groups was signiflcantly attanuated.Conclusion: These results suggested that astragalosides shows obvious effect against rat hepatic fibrosis.
