Abstract:
Rat fatty liver model was established by feeding high fat food a nd int ragastrically giving a Chinese spirit, and the effects of the tianjiu therapy we re observed in the model. The parameters observed in this study included the bod y weight, liver weight, the ratio of liver weight and body weight, liver lipid, blood lipid, transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase, gamma glu tamyltransferase, and the liver pathologic changes. The results showed that the tianjiu therapy could regulate the fat metabolism of the liver and the whole bod y, reduce the fat deposit in the liver, inhibit fatty degeneration of liver cell s, and help liver cells to restore their normal functions. The results also show ed that the recovery speed of the rat with fatty liver treated by the tianjiu th erapy was higher than that of the rat with the same disease not treated by the t herapy.
