Abstract:Objective To investigate the protective effect of Ge Huang Granule on liver function in rats model of alcoholic liver injury. Methods SD rat model of alcoholic liver injury was established with continuous gavage of alcohol (1.0 ml/100 g/1 d). Rat in treatment groups received low dose (group B), moderate dose (group C), and high dose (group D) of Ge Huang Granule. Rats in control group (group A) was only given distilled water (1.0 ml/100 g/1 d). Rats were sacrificed after 13 weeks of insults and liver tissue was collected. Histological analysis of liver was identified by HEstaining.Serum levels of ALT, AST, ADH and ALDH were measured.Western Blot was performed for protein expression of CYP450 2E1. Results Rats in control group experienced increased levels of ADH, ALT, AST and CYP450 2E1 and decreased levels of ALDH, all of which were reversed by treatment of Ge Huang Granule in a dose dependent manner (P < 0.01). Conclusion Ge Huang Granule exerts hepatic protection in rat model of alcoholic liver injury through modulation of ADH and other metabolizing enzymes.
