Abstract:
AIM To observe the relationship between dose effect and time effect on hepatoxicity of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis extract in rats.MOTHODS Wistar rats were divided into four groups:low,middle and high (3,10,and 30 g/kg) dose of G.Jasminoides groups (administrated by gavage),and the normal control group were orally given deionized water.All rats were observed daily during the administration period.On the 7th,14th,28th day after the administration,blood samples were collected;serum alanine transaminase (ALT),aspartate transaminase (AST),alkaline phosphatase (ALP),glutamic dehydrogenase (GLDH) activity and total bile acid (TBA) and total bilirubin (TBIL) were determined.The livers were weighed and the liver index was calculated.HE staining and observation of histopathological changes in the structure of liver tissue under light microscopy were performed.RESULTS After the 7th day of administration,the rats in high dose group showed lower food consumption and slowly increased body weight.Serum ALT,AST,ALP,TBA,TBIL and GLDH in rats from high dose group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group.The liver index of rats in the middle and high dose groups was significantly increased than that in the normal control group.After the 14th day of administration,serum ALT,TBA and TBIL in rats from the high dose group were significantly higher than those in the normal group.The liver index of rats in the middle and high dose groups was significantly increased than that in the normal control group.After 28th day of administration,serum ALT and TBA in the rats from the high dose group,TBIL and GLDH in rats from the middle dose group,and GLDH in rats from the low dose group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group.The liver indexes of rats in all dose groups were significantly increased than those in the normal control group.After the 7th,14th or 28th day of the treatment,histopathological changes such as the liver cell hypertrophy,interlobular bile duct hyperplasia,and inflammatory cell infiltration appeared in the middle and high dose groups.CONCLUSION The high dose of G.jasminoides can induce and increase liver toxicity with the increase in dose,but at high dose level,liver toxicity does not increase with time.
