Abstract:Objective: To observe effect of astragalosides extract on liver fibrosis in rats. Method: Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control group (A), model group (B), colchicine group(C),low-dose astragalosides group(D),middle-dose astragalosides group (E) and high-dose astragalosides group (F).Liver fibrosis model in rat was produced with bovine serum albumin(ABS). Group C received colchicine (0.1 mg·kg-1·d-1);group D,E, F received low-dose astragalosides (15 mg·kg-1·d-1), middle-dose astragalosides (30 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high-dose astragalosides (60 mg·kg-1·d-1) ig respectively. After 55 days, serum levels of serum total protein (TP), albumin(ALB),alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),type Ⅲ procollagen(PC-Ⅲ) and type Ⅳ collagen (Ⅳ-C) in different groups were detected. Result: Compared with model group,levels of ALT,AST,HA,LN,PC-Ⅲand Ⅳ-C in the treatment groups were obviously improved.It had significantly statistical difference(P<0.05, P<0.01).Pathological result showed that the liver fibrosis in the treatment groups was signiflcantly attanuated. Conclusion: These results suggested that astragalosides shows obvious effect against rat hepatic fibrosis.
