Abstract:
AIM To observe the clinical efficacy of Huazhi Rougan Granules (Artemisiae scopariae Herba,Cassiae Semen,Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,etc.) in the treatment of damp-heat accumulation type non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its influence on insulin resistance.METHODS During January 2014-January 2016,a total of one hundred and twenty patients with damp-heat accumulation type NASH,given diet and exercise guidance,were randomly and equally divided into control group (polyene phosphatidylcholine) and treatment group (Huazhi Rougan Granules),administrated for twelve weeks.The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotranferase (AST),gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),γ-glutamyl transpeptadase (GGT),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FINS),HOMA-IR index,adiponectin (ADPN) and leptin,body mass index (BMI) and uhrasound examination were detected before and after the treatment,respectively.These data were compared in two groups.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the serum ALT,AST,GGT,TC,TG,FPG,FINS and HOMA-IR of the patients in the treatment group decreased significantly,and liver fat were effectively reduced,while serum adiponectin increased markedly (P ＜ 0.05).After the treatment,remarkable reductions in the levels of BMI,leptin were observed in both groups (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION Huazhi Rougan Granules combined with lifestyle modulation can effectively improve the syndrome of damp-heat accumulation type NASH by lowing insulin resistance.
