Abstract

The protective and therapeutic effects of Alismatis Rhizoma extracts on rat liver injury induced by carcinogenic polycyclic hydrocarbon, benzo(a)pyrene were investigated in rats. Serum and liver triglyceride, total-cholesterol level and serum HDL-cholesterol content were measured. Alismatis Rhizoma extracts inhibited the enhanced production of lipid in chemically induced liver injury. Among 4 fractions, CHCh fraction revealed the most powerful liver-protective effect. Our results strongly suggest that Alismatis Rhizoma be a promising liver-protective agent.
