In vitro and in vivo protective effects of proteoglycan isolated from mycelia of Ganoderma lucidum on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury

Table 1 Effect of GLPG on liver weight in mice with CCl₄-induced hepatic injury after 72 h (mean ± SD)

Group	Liver weight (g)
Control	1.77  ±  0.26
GLPG (500 mg/kg)	1.74 ± 0.21
CCl4 (1600 mg/kg)	2.22 ± 0.34
CCl4 (1600 mg/kg) + GLPG(300 mg/kg)	1.67 ± 0.17
CCl4 (1600 mg/kg) + GLPG(600 mg/kg)	1.57 ± 0.18
CCl4 (1600 mg/kg) + GLPG(900 mg/kg)	1.52 ± 0.14

^aP<0.05 vs CCl₄-treatment group; ^bP<0.01 vs control group; n=10 mice.
