Efficacy of wuling capsules for experimental hepatic fibrosis in rats

AIM To study the efficaciousness of Wuling capsules for hepaticfibrosis in rats. METHODS Rat models with hepatic fibrosis were induced by CCl4 compound factors and then treated with Wuling capsules. Pathology of liver sections, hyaluronic acid and procollagen (PC) contents in rat liver and serum were examined respectively. RESULTS Pathological examinations showed that the liver cells of model rats were injured seriously. Collagen fibers proliferated and dissected hepatic lobules in model rats. Wuling capsules could protect liver cells and reduce degrees of hepatic fibro-sis. The best effects were achieved at 3.0 g·kg-1. Compared with the untreated group, there were remarkable decreases of hepatic collagen contents, serum PCⅢ contents and hepatic PCⅠ contents in the drug-treated rats. And the effects were the most significant in the rats treated with Wuling capsules 3.0 g·kg-1. CONCLUSION Wuling capsules are effective in treatment of hepatic fibrosis.
