Abstract

Herbal medicines are increasingly being utilized to treat a wide variety of disease processes. We previously reported that aqueous extract from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC (Campanulaceae), Changkil (CK). had hepatoprotective effects against acetaminophen induced liver injury. In the present study, we assayed the preventive and therapeutic effects of CK on experimental hepatic fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in rats. (omitted)
