사염화탄소에의한 간손상시 $CCl_4$대사에 xanthine oxidase(XO)가 관련되는지를 규명하기위한 일환으로 allopurinol을 흰쥐 체중 Kg당 50mg을 전처치한다음 $CCl_4$를 투여한 후 처치하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. $CCl_4$투여로 인한 간조직의 postmitochondria 분획의 XO활성은 allopurinol을 전처치하므로서 현저히 감소되었으나 투석한 경우에는 오히려 증가되었으며 type D로부터 type O로의 전환율은 감소되었다. 또한, 투석한 간조직의 XO를 반응속도적인 측면에서 관찰해 볼 때 allopurinol을 전처치후 $CCl_4$투여군이 $CCl_4$단독투여 군보다 Vmax가 크게 나타났다. $CCl_4$투여로 인한 체중당 간무게의 증가율과 혈청 alanine aminotransferase활성증가율은 allopurinol을 전처치하므로서 저하되었다. 한편 $CCl_4$투여로 인한 간조직중 aniline hydroxylase및 glucose 6 phosphatase활성 감소율은 allopurinol을 전처치하므로서 저하되었다. 이상의 실험결과를 종합하여 볼때 실험동물에 $CCl_4$와 allopurinol을 병행 투여시 allopurinol이 사염화탄소에 의한 간손상을 억제시키는 현상은 XO와 사염화탄소 대사간에 관련성이 있음을 시사해주고 있다.

Hovenia dulcis Thunb (HDT) has been known folk medicine and has been used as therapeutic drug in the treatment of liver disease. Also it has been used as a detoxifying agents for alcoholic poisoning and promoting diuresis. However, there has not been any study on therapeutic effect of Hovenia dulcis extract on $CCl_4$ induced liver and kidney damage in rats. In this study, we report on therapeutic effects of Hovenia dulcis extract on $CCl_4$ induced liver and kidney damage in rats. Rats were divided into four groups of eighteen animals. Control group (DW) was administrated with distilled water 2.5 mL/kg per peritonial administration and then $CCl_4$ group (CCl) was administrated $CCl_4$ 2.5 mL/kg per peritonial administration, $CCl_4$+HDT extract group ($CCl_4$+HDT) was administrated HDT extrat (100 mg/kg) after $CCl_4$ 2.5 mL/kg administration, $CCl_4$+Silymarin group ($CCl_4$+Sily) was administrated Silymarin (50 mg/kg) after $CCl_4$ 2.5 mL/kg administration. The complete blood cell (CBC) count of RBC, WBC, PCV, Hb, MCH, MCV, MCHC and blood chemistry profile of AST, ALT, GGT, ALP, Total choloesterol, Tryglyceride, Total bilirubin, Amylase, Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Lipase and pathologic changes were observed for 7 days after administration of D.W., $CCl_4$, $CCl_4$+HDT extract, $CCl_4$+Silymarin. The results are as follows : 1. RBC and PCV were significantly (p < 0.01) increased in all groups compared to D.W. but hemoglobin, MCH, MCV and MCHC were not showed significant difference during experimental periods. 2. AST, ALT, T-cholesterol, T-bilirubin, TG were significantly (p < 0.05) increased in all groups on day 3 compared to D.W. and were normal on day 7. 3. ALP was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in $CCl_4$+HDT group on day 3 but Amylase was not showed significant difference during experimental periods. 4. BUN was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in $CCl_4$ group on day 7, but $CCl_4$+HDT group and $CCl_4$+Sily group were normal. Creatninie was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in $CCl_4$ group on day 3 and normal on day 7 but $CCl_4$+HDT group and $CCl_4$+Sily group were not showed significant difference during experimental periods.

To investigate effects of Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice on the liver damage of CCl4-treated tats, Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 80~100g were divided into 4 groups of control group(CON), Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice-treated group(ANJ), CCl4-treated group(CCL) and Angelica keiskei Kodiz green juice and CCl4-treated group(ACL). Each group was sacrified after feeding for 4 weeks and examined the activities of transminase (sGOT, sGPT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), and contents of lipid peroxide and glutathione in liver. The activities of sGOT and sGPT, and content of lipid peroxide after CCl4 treatment were markedly increased, compared to CON, but those levels were significantly decreased by the pretreatment of Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice as compared to CCL. The activities of SOD, catalase and GSH-Px were elevated by CCl4-treatment as compared to control group, and concomitant treatment of Angelical keiskei Koidz and CCl4 decreased those levels significantly except the activity of catalase. The hepatic content of glutathione was decreased by CCl4 and increased more abundant by Angelica keiskei Koidz administration than CCl4 treated group. These results suggest that Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice is believed to have a possible protective effect for the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

To investigate the effects of leek green juice on the damaged liver of $CCl_{4}$-treated rats, Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing about 100g, were divided into 4 groups ; control group (CON), leek green juice-administered group (LGJ), $CCl_{4}$-treated group (CCL) and leek green juice and $CCl_{4}$-treated group (LCL). After 6 weeks, the activities of sGPT and sGOT, and content of hepatic TBA-reactants, elevated by $CCl_{4}$ treatment, were markedly decreased by administering leek green juice, compared to CCL. It was also observed that activities of hepatic SOD and GSH-Px were elevated by $CCl_{4}$-treatment as compared to CON, but concomitant treatment of leek green juice and $CCl_{4}$ decreased those levels adjacent to CON, whereas catalase activity did not show significant decreasing effects compared to CCL. The hepatic content of glutathione, decreased by $CCl_{4}$, was more abundantly increased by leek green juice administration than by CCL. These results suggest that leek green juice is believed to b a possible protective effect for the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rat liver.

This study was performed to investigate hepatoprotective effect of rutin on acute hepatic damage induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats. Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups; normal control group, $CCl_4$ control group, two rutin treatment groups (rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$). Dissolving vehicles were applied to the rats in the normal control group. The rutin was administrated to the rats in rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$ groups at the levels of 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg, 3 consecutive days orally, with 24 hours interval before inoculating $CCl_4$. $CCl_4$ was intraperitoneally administered an hour after the last treatment of rutin to the rats in every group except the normal control group. The body weight of rats in $CCl_4$ control group were significantly lower than other groups (p < 0.05), but the liver weight and relative liver weight were higher than normal control group (p < 0.05). The activities of ALT, AST, ALP, GTP, LDH and the level of total bilirubin in sera of rats in $CCl_4$ control group were higher and the levels of total protein, albumin and globulin were lower than the normal group (p < 0.05). The activities of ALT, AST, ALP, GTP, LDH and the level of total bilirubin in rutin 200+$CCl_4$ and rutin 400+$CCl_4$ groups were lower than $CCl_4$ control group (p < 0.05). Therefore the pre-treatment of rutin before $CCl_4$ inoculation in rats effectively inhibited the elevation of serum ALT, AST and total bilirubin which are the parameters of hepatic damage.

To evaluate the effect of xanthine oxidase on liver injury by $CCl_4$, liver damage was induced both in allopurinol pretreated rats (500 mg/kg. ip) and control group by twice intraperitoneal injection of $CCl_4$ (0.1 ml/100 g body wt. 50% in olive oil) at interval of one day. Increases in the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase and liver weight/body weight (%) by $CCl_4$ were significantly smaller inallopurinol pretreated rats than in control whereas the hepatic microsomal glucose-6-pholphatase activities were significantly higher in allopurinol pretreated rats than control group by $CCl_4$ treatment. These results indicates that allopurinol pretreatment may reduce the liver damage in $CCl_4$ intoxicated rats. In rats either with $CCl_4$or not, hepatic type O xanthine oxidase activities were significantly reduced by allopurinol pretreatment and the increasing rate of these enzymes to each control was remarkably lower in allopurinol pretreated rats than control. Liver cytosolic protein contents and aniline hydroxylase, aminopyrine demethylase activities were higher in allopurinol pretreated rats than coirol rats when animals were treated with $CCl_4$. On the other hand, neither allopurinol pretreated nor $CCl_4$ treatment caused any significant changes in hepatic superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Hepatic glutathione contents were higher in $CCl_4$-treated rats than control, but no significant changes were found in both between the allopurinol treated rats and $CCl_4$-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol, and glutathione and glutathione S-transferase activities were significantly reduced in $CCl_4$-treated rats than control whereas these enzyme activities showed on significant change in both between allopurinel treated and $CCl_4$-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol. It is concluded that xanthine oxidase reaction system augment $CCl_4$ induced liver injury via even oxygen free radical system.

TO evaluate an effect of cyclohexane treatment on the degree of liver damage, rats were induced liver damage with 10 or 17 times $CCl_4$ injection (0.1 m1/100 g body wt., 50% $CCl_4$ dis-solved in olive oil) at intervals of every other day. Cyclohexane (1.56 g/kg body wt., i.p.) was administrated to the animals at 48 hours after the last pretreatment of $CCl_4$ . Rats were sacrificed at 4 hours after injection of cyclohexane. On the basis of histopathological findings, liver weight/body weight (LW/ BW, %), activities of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), xanthine oxidase (XO) and akaline phosphatase (ALP), and contents of liver protein and manlondialdehyde (MDA), $CCl_4$ -pretreatment induced liver damage. And $CCl_4$ 17 times treated group showed more severe liver damage than $CCl_4$ 10 times treated group. Administration of one dose of cyclohexane to $CCl_4$ 10 times treated animals resulted in the enhanced liver damage; liver necrosis with proliferation of fibroblast and bile duct abnormality, and increase in hepatic MDA content and the activities of serum ALP and ALT, But the enhanced liver damage was not found in $CCl_4$ 17 times treated animals. Serum cyclohexanone concentrations at 4 or 8 hours after injection of cyclohexane were higher in all liver damaged groups than normal group and were somewhat higher In $CCl_4$ 17 times treated animals than $CCl_4$ 10 times treated ones. Among the oxygen free radical metabolizing enzymes, hepatic cytochrome P45O dependent aniline hydroxylase (CYPdAH) activity in cyclohexane metabolizing enzyme system was meaningfully increased by the injection of cyclohexane to the liver damaged rats, with increased Vmax and high affinity to aniline. LW/BW (%) and activities of serum XO and ALT were more significantly increased in liver damaged groups than normal group by administration of cyclohexanone. In conclusion, it is assumed that an enhancement of liver damage by injection of one dose of cyclohexane to liver damaged animals might be caused by oxygen free radicals and cyclohexanone.

본 연구는 $CCl_4$로 간 손상이 유도된 흰 쥐에서 호박산의 간 보호 효과 정도를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 실험을 하기 위해 정상군(NOR), $CCl_4$처리군(CON), 보석호박섭취군(PCON-CS)군으로 나누어 1주일 적응기간을 가진 SD계 흰 쥐에 보석호박산을 일정한 시간에 200 mg/kg으로 3주간 투여하였다. 21일째 되는 날 마지막 투여 5시간 후에 정상군을 제외한 다른 그룹의 쥐에게 $CCl_4$를 복강주사 하였다. 보석호박섭취군은 $CCl_4$처리군에 비해 AST, ALT 활성은 93.20%, 88.76% 각각 억제효과를 보였고 MDA는 $CCl_4$처리군에 비해 85.17% 억제효과를 보였다. 보석호박섭취군의 SOD와 CAT는 $CCl_4$처리군에 비해 38.65%, 47.99% 증가효과를 보였다, 결론적으로 AST, ALT 활성도와 MDA 수치는 보석호박섭취군이 $CCl_4$처리군에 비하여 유의적으로 감소하여 정상군과 비슷한 수치를 나타내었고 SOD와 CAT효소 활성은 보석호박섭취군이 $CCl_4$처리군에 비하여 증가하였다. 또한 조직학적 관찰은 사염화탄소로 유도된 간경변과 세포괴사가 호박산에 의해 예방된 것으로 나타났다. 이 데이터들로 확인해보면 $CCl_4$로 유도된 간 독성을 호박산이 간을 보호하는 결과를 나타냈으며, 이는 호박산이 간 손상에 대한 보호 효과를 가진 약물의 소재개발에 이용 될 수 있다고 본다.
