Abstract

This study was done to investigate the effect of glycyrrhizin on the lethality induced by galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide coadministration in mice. Glycyrrhizin was injecte d intravenously as a multiple dose at 20, 15, 10, 5, and O hr before galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide coadministration. Lethality and tumor necrosis factor (TNF${\alpha}$) level in serum were surveyed as markers of glycyrrhizin effect. Glycyrrhizin had no effect on the lethality induced by galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide when glycyrrhizin was administered as a single dose. Glycyrrhizin reduced the lethality induced by galactosamine and LPS in dose-dependent manner when glycyrrhizin was administered as a multiple dose at 20, 15, 10, 5 and O hr before galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide coadministration. Glycyrrhizin reduced the serum TNF${\alpha$ level.
