Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of extract of cockroach on animals with acute hepatic injury and its antiviral action in vitro. Methods The animal models with hepar injury were established by CCl4, bcg vaccine and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . And the activities of ALT and AST in serum were measured. Serum of ducks was separated after cockroach extract was administrated. The serum was added to the culture fluid of HBV-DNA transfected hepatic cancer cells-HepG2. Results After the cockroach extract was administrated, the activities of ALT and AST in mouse serum were reduced. Both the therapeutic indexes of cockroach extract and lamivudine were larger than 2. Conclusions Cockroach extract can improve the liver function of animals with acute hepatic injury, and inhibit the secretion of ALT and AST in serum.
