Abstract

These studies were conducted to investigate the effects of Leonurus sibiricus extract (L.S.E.) on experimentally $CCl_4-induced$ liver damage and alloxan-induced diabetes in rabbits; Leonurus sibiricus juice (L.S.J.) showed the most rapid recuperation of liver function among samples compared to the control group in $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rabbits. SGPT activity stowed an apparant decreasing effect in 4 days, and the blood level of total cholesterol and total bilirubin in 6 days, and not in alkaline phosphatase level. L.S.J. exhibited more excellent hypoglycemic effect in alloxan-induced diabetes of rabbits, that is, significant to the control group after 2 days and adjacent to the normal level on 8th day. And SGPT activity and total cholesterol level were gradually decreased and showed markedly decreasing effect after 4 days.
