Abstract

The purpose of this study is to observe the effect of Whaganjeon on serum reaction in $CCl_4$ treated rats. In this study, the experimental rats divided four group(Control group, $CCl_4$ group, Whaganjeon group, and Sample group) : Under the same condition, control group were administered water, sample group were administered Whaganjeon for 7days. And then, both $CCl_4$ group and sample group were injected to abdomen with $CCl_4$ for 1days. The change of GOT, GPT, ALP, LDH, and bile acid activity in blood serum. The obtained results are summarised as follows : 1. In the change of SGOT, SGPT contents, as compared with control group, sample group was significantly decreased. 2. In the change of serum ALP contents, as compared with control group, sample group was significantly decreased. 3. In the change of serum bile acid contents, as compared with control group, sample group was significantly decreased. 4. In the change of serum LDH contents, as compared with control group, sample group was significantly decreased.
