We investigated the effects of the Chinese prescription “Shosaiko-To and Inchinko-To” on the liver function after releasing of obstructive jaundice on rats.
On control group, the values of GOT, GPT, T-Bil and ALP were recovered to the values before obstructive jaundice on 14th day after releasing of obstructive jaundice.
On the other hand, on the Shosaiko-To and Inchinko-To treated group, the values of GOT, T-Bil and ALP were significantly improved on 3rd or 5th day after releasing of obstructive jaundice (p<0.001, vs control).
The prescription of Shosaiko-To and Inchinko-To after releasing of obstructive jaundice indicated the prompt improvement for bile stagnation hepatitis.
