Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of Yulangsan polysaccharide(YLSPS) on acute alcoholic hepatic injury in mice.METHODS:50% alcohol at a dose of 10 mL?kg-1 was administered (ig) to mice to establish acute alcoholic hepatic injury model.The activities of serum transaminase and superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the triglyeride(TGL) level were determined and a pathohistological study was performed. RESULTS:The activity of serum transaminase and the content of triglyceride in mice were significantly down-regulated by different doses of YLSPS,but the activity of superoxide dismutase in YLSPS-treated groups was significantly up-regulated and the number of fat droplets was reduced. Fatty degeneration in acute alcoholic hepatic injury model mice was significantly abated by high-dose and middle-dose YLSPS.CONCLUSION:The protective effect of YLSPS on alcohol-induced acute hepatic injury in mice was attributed to its action in lessening the effect of alcohol on lipometabolism.
