AIM
To study the liver-protection effects of Sorbaria sorbifolia aqueous extract.
METHODS
Sorbaria sorbifolia was perfused into stomach of the rats with liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride and D-galactosamine. The activities of serum aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione perioxidase (GSH-PX), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were investigated by using colorimetric method.
RESULTS
The aqueous extract of Sorbaria sorbifolia significantly reduced serum ALT and AST in acute liver-injury induced by carbon tetrachloride and D-galactosamine, the activities of SOD and GSH-PX were signficantly higher in treated group than that in model group, and the MDA content in treated group was lower than that in model group.
CONCLUSION
The aqueous extract of Sorbaria sorbifolia has protecting effects for rats with acute hepatic injury induced by carbon tetrachloride and D-galactosamine.
