Objective: To investigate the effect of Hawthorn leaves flavonoids self-emulsifying granules (HLFSG) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Method: Forty rats were randomized into 4 groups and fed high fat diet to induce non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model. Rosiglitazone was as the positive control group. The influence of the HLFSG(50 mg·kg-1)treatments on total cholesterol(TC)
triglyceride(TG)
low-density lipoprotein-C(LDL-C)
high-density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C)
alanine aminotransferase(ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase(AST)
free fatty acid(FFA)
superoxide dismutase (SOD)
malondialdehyde(MDA) was investigated. Result: Compared with the model group
HLFSG reduced TC
TG
LDL-C
FFA
ALT
AST
MDA significantly (P<0.05
P<0.01)
and a significant increase of HDL-C and SOD was observed. Conclusion: HLFSG is beneficial to the treatment of fatty liver through reducing blood lipid and improving the liver functions in rats.
