[Objectives] To investigate the protective effects of Siwu Xuanhu decoction on the liver of mice with acute liver injury induced by CCl4. [Methods] A total of 48 ICR mice were randomly assigned to six groups: a blank control group, a model group, a low dose group of Siwu Xuanhu decoction (100 mg/kg), a medium dose group of Siwu Xuanhu decoction (200 mg/kg), a high dose group of Siwu Xuanhu decoction (300 mg/kg), and a positive control group (silymarin 2 mg/kg). Each group comprised 8 mice. Each dosing group received the designated dose of the drug (10 mL/kg) via continuous gavage, while the blank group and the model group were administered an equivalent volume of normal saline for four weeks, three times per week. An acute liver injury model was established through the intraperitoneal administration of a 20% CCl4 olive oil solution at a dosage of 2 mL/kg in all experimental groups, with the exception of the control group, which received an equivalent volume of the olive oil solution. After 24 h fasting with water intake, blood samples were collected from the ocular region. The blood samples were allowed to stand and subsequently subjected to centrifugation to isolate the upper layer of serum, and a diagnostic kit was employed to measure the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the serum. [Results] In comparison to the control group, serum levels of AST and ALT were significantly elevated in the model group. Furthermore, when compared to the model group, treatment with Siwu Xuanhu decoction resulted in a reduction of serum levels of ALT, AST, and IL-6, while simultaneously increasing SOD activities. [Conclusions] Siwu Xuanhu decoction exhibits a protective effect against acute liver injury induced by CCl4 in mice. |
