Abstract: Objective : To observe the protective effect of Compound Yinhu decoction on acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4) in mice. Methods : Acute liver injury was established by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4.Compound Yinhu decotion was tested as subjects drug and bifendate as a positive control drug.The liver index(LI),the levels of serum alanine amino-transferase(ALT) and aspartate amino-transferase(AST),the superoxide dismutase(SOD) and molondialdehyde(MDA) levels in the liver tissue were measured and the protective effect of Compound Yinhu decotion on liver injury was observed. Results :Compound Yinhu decotion could significantly reduce serum ALT and AST levels,increase liver SOD level and decrease liver MDA level.It could also reduce the liver cell morphological injury. Conclusions :Compound Yinhu decotion has some protective effect on acute liver injury induced by CCl4 in mice.
