  • This study was carried out to investigate the effect of LAB (Lactic acid bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Streptococcus thermophilus) on detoxication of damaged liver in carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$) and ethanol (25%)-treated rats. Rats had been daily (twice a day) pre-treated with saline (0.5 ml/kg: untreated group), $CCl_4$ (0.5 ml/kg: other groups) for 6 days. At seventh day, after treating rat with $CCl_4$ and then, mixture of LAB ($10^{11}$/0.5 ml: LAB group), saline (0.5 ml/kg: untreated group, $CCl_4$ group), and biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) (50 mg/kg: DDB group) were treated orally with $CCl_4$ for 8 days. Ethanol is treated as the same manner instead of $CCl_4$. To investigate the hepatoprotective effect, rats treated with $CCl_4$ and ethanol were analyzed with serum GOT and GPT level. The GOT and GPT levels of LAB group was lower than the level of $CCl_4$ and DDB group. Especially, compared with data of $CCl_4$ group, GPT activity showed statistically significant result in the significance level of p < 0.05. The LAB group treated with ethanol also showed lower level of GOT and GPT than the other control groups treated with ethanol. The triglyceride level of serum decreased more in a group treated special materials (DDB and LAB group) than ethanol group. As well, the effect of LAB on the antifatigue has been investigated. The animals (10/group) were divided into 4 groups (untreated group, Carrier group, Red-ginseng group, LAB group). Each group was given carrier (0.9 mg/0.2 ml), red ginseng extract (200 mg/kg), and mixture of LAB ($10^{11}$/0.2 ml). Special materials were given for three weeks. After finishing treating through oral, horizontal wire test, rotarod test, and forced swimming test were performed. The time of resistance to fatigue of the group, fed with mixture of LAB, was longer than the time when mice treated with red-ginseng that the effect was already revealed. The result of this study revealed that LAB could decrease hepatocelluar injury compared with rats treated orally with $CCl_4$ and ethanol, and could also decrease fatigue.

  • A major source of the hazardous waste generated is from chemical industries producing plastics, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated solvents. All of these processes produce a class if hazardous waste termed the chlorinated hydrocarbons(CHCs), either directly or from undesirable side reactions. In this study, we investigated the destruction characteristics of hazardous waste through incineration. A nonequilibrium combustion model was used to describe the effect of the chemical kinetics due to the flame inhibition characteristics of $CCl_4$ which was used as the surrogate of hazardous waste. A parametric screening studies was made in a dump incinerator proposed in this study. The dump incinerator showed high $CCl_4$ DRE(Destruction and Removal Efficiency) as 5 nines. $CCl_4$/CH$_4$ ratio appeared to be most important in the destruction of $CCl_4$ through incineration.

  • Sachungwhan reduced hepatotoxicity induced by carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$). Improved liver function was observed by measuring the activities of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine(CRE), total cholesterol(TCHO), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-CHO), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-CHO), total protein(TP), albumin(ALB) and total bilirubin(BIL) in serum. Hepatic parameters monitored were levels of cholesterol(CHO), triglyceride(TG), malondialdehyde(MDA), content of cytochrome P450(CYP), level of glutathione(GSH), and activities of NADPH-CYP reductase, superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), glutathione S-transferase(GST), glutathione reductase(GR), glutathione peroxidase(GPx). The histopathological examination showed that the treatment of Sachungwhan relieved the ballooning degeneration of hepatocytes which had been generated by $CCl_4$. The results suggested that hepatoprotective effects of Sachungwhan possibly are due to their promising antioxidative activity.

  • 본 연구에서는 현호색의 methanol추출물에 대하여 사염화탄소에 의한 간 손상 보호효과를 확인한 후 이를 hexane, chloroform, butanol 및 물로 계통분획하여 사염화탄소에 의한 간 손상 보호효과를 검색하였다. 이 결과 현호색 물분획물이 유의성 있는 간 보호효과를 보임으로써 간손상 보호효과를 확인하고 그 기전을 밝히고자 하였다. 그 결과 혈액중의 ALT활성 및 cholesterol함량은 사염화탄소 단독투여군에 비하여 감소하였으며 간조직의 TG와 지질과산화물 함량은 사염화탄소 단독투여군에 비하여 감소하여 사염화탄소에 의한 지방의 축적이나 세포막의 손상은 억제된 것으로 보인다. 기전연구를 위하여 측정한 CYP함량과 calcium함량은 사염화탄소 단독투여군에 비하여 감소하였으며 GST활성도는 사염화탄소 단독투여군에 비하여 증가하였다. 항산화 효소의 유도로 인하여 증가할 것으로 기대한 SOD, GPX, GST활성도는 모든 처치군에서 감소하는 경향을 보여 간손상 보호 효과는 free radical scavenging effect보다는 CYP함량의 감소와 CCB로서의 작용 및 GST활성도의 증가에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

  • 사염화탄소(carbon tetrachloride, 이하 $CCl_4$라함)에 의한 간 중독시 flavonoids가 미치는 영향을 보기 위하여 $CCl_4$를 투여한 뒤 rutin, hesperidin을 주사하여 경시적으로 간 microsome과 혈청중 total cholesterol, transaminase(GOT, GPT) 및 alkaline phosphatase(Alk. P) 활성도를 측정 비교하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 간장중 total cholesterol 함량은 rutin과 hesperidin 1회 투여후 1일에 대조군과 비교할 때 감소하다가 2일에 45%까지 증가되었으나 4일 후에는 정상으로 완전히 회복 되었다. 이와 같은 현상은 혈청중 cholesterol 함량에도 직접적으로 영향을 주어 시간이 경과함에 따라 어느정도 저하됨을 알 수 있었지만 혈청중에서 positive한 결과를 얻기는 어려웠다. (2) 간의 microsome 분획의 Alk. P 활성도는 대조군의 활성치에 비하여 2일에 급격히 증가를 보인 후 4일만에 대조군보다 낮은 활성을 보이다가 6일까지 완만하게 증가하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 Alk. P 활성도는 $CCl_4$ 투여군과 비교할 때 flavonoids 투여후 별다른 변동은 없었다. 그러나 혈청중 Alk. P 활성도는 hesperidin 투여로 인하여 저하 효과를 나타냈다. (3) GPT 활성도를 측정한 결과 간의 microsome 분획에서는 hesperidin 2회 투여에서, 그리고 혈청중 GPT 활성은 rutin과 hesperidin 두군 모두에서 아주 낮은 활성을 보여 flavonoids가 $CCl_4$ 투여로 인한 간독성을 해독하는 작용이 있음을 보여 주었다. (4) $CCl_4$독성을 일으킨 흰쥐의 간 microsome내 GOT 활성은 rutin 투여로 인하여 불규칙한 변동을 보여 rutin이 GOT활성에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 hesperidin 투여군에서는 증감의 변동없이 대조군치와 거의 비슷한 수준을 유지하였지만 $CCl_4$ 투여군과 비교할 때 낮은 활성을 보였다. 혈청중에서 GOT 활성은 flavonoids 1회 투여군에서는 4일만에, 2회 투여군에서는 6일만에 서서히 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 이상과 같이 $CCl_4$에 의하여 상승되는 total cholesterol, GPT, GOT, Alk. P의 활성도는 flavonoids중 rutin과 hesperidin 성분이 감소시키는 작용이 있는 것으로 보이며, 특히 hesperidin 성분은 $CCl_4$ 중독을 억제 또는 방어하고 치료에 효과가 있는 것으로 본다.

  • Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is known to cause liver injury characterized by centrilobular necrosis. The toxicity is thought to be exerted via cytochrome P-450-mediated metabolism of $CCl_4$ to trichloromethyl and trichloro-methylperoxy radicals, which initiates lipid peroxidation, leading to hepatocellular membrane damage [l, 2]. Our study demonstrates a therapeutic efficacy of YCY, extract of a cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, on liver injuries induced by $CCl_4$. (omitted)

  • The effect of hepatic injury produced by CCL, was studied on rats receiving a low protein-high carbohydrate (7% casein), standard protein (20% casein) and a high protein diet (30% casein). The rats fed low protein diet are resistant to CCl$_4$ in its effects on the liver as judged by histology, serum enzymes(guanase, ALT) and the content of hepatic protein. On the other hand, the pretreatment of hydrocortisone before injection of CCl$_4$ to the rats fed a standard diet, slightly decreased both serum ALT and guanase activities. In the pretreatment of actinomycin D, the liver and serum guanase activities were significantly decreased. It indicates that the cause of increasing serum guanase is based on the alteration of membrane permeability and the result of accelerated enzyme synthesis in liver cells of CCl$_4$ intoxicated rats.

  • This study was performed to examine the hepatoprotective effect of isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside, a flavonoid glycoside isolated from Artemisia capillaris Thunberg (Compositae), against carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$)-induced hepatic injury. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with vehicle or isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg) 30 min before and 2 h after $CCl_4$ (20 ${\mu}l/kg$) injection. Serum aminotransferase activities and hepatic level of malondialdehyde were significantly higher after $CCl_4$ treatment, and these increases were attenuated by isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside. $CCl_4$ markedly increased serum tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ level, which was reduced by isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside. The levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein and their mRNA expression levels were significantly increased after $CCl_4$ injection. The levels of HO-1 protein and mRNA expression levels were augmented by isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside, while isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside attenuated the increases in iNOS and COX-2 protein and mRNA expression levels. $CCl_4$ increased the level of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase, extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38, and isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside reduced these increases. The nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$), activating protein-1, and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) were significantly increased after $CCl_4$ administration. Isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside attenuated the increases of NF-${\kappa}B$ and c-Jun nuclear translocation, while it augmented the nuclear level of Nrf2. These results suggest that isorhamnetin-3-O-galactoside ameliorates $CCl_4$-induced hepatic damage by enhancing the anti-oxidative defense system and reducing the inflammatory signaling pathways.

  • 본 연구는 3주간 $CCl_4$를 투여한 랫트를 이용하여 각 장기 및 혈액 생화학치의 변화를 조사, 과산화지질가를 감도가 좋은 형광발광 액체 크로마토그래피를 이용해 측정, 간세포를 전자현미경적으로 관찰 등의 방밥으로 간기능에 미치는 PRC의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 그 결과, PRC투여군은 정상대조군에 비하여 체중은 감소하고, 상대적 간장 중량의 감소경향, GOT 및 GPT의 수치가 감소하였으며, 특히 과산화물가가 유의하게(p<0.001) 감소하였다. 이로 인한 결과를 명확히 뒷받침해 주고 있는 간세포에 대한 전자현미경적 관찰의 결과는 RPC투여의 효과를 간세포의 형태학적 관찰에서 간세포에 대한 PRC의 효과를 나타내 주었다. 이 결과는 칡 카테킨이 사염화탄소로 유도된 간장의 과산화지질의 형성을 방지해서 간기능을 회복시키는데 효과적이라는 것을 시사한다 하겠다.

  • We evaluated the hepatoprotective activity of crude hot-water extracts of the traditional Korean medicinal herb, Phellodendri Cortex (PC; Bark of Phellodendron amurense RUPR.), in an experimental model of hepatic damage induced by carbon tetrachloride ($CCl_4$). The serum marker of liver damage, sGOT, sGPT and sALP, were significantly decreased in the liver of the PC treated rats, compared with that of $CCl_4$ treated group. The histological observation of liver section of rats, showed the same protective effect of PC treatment. And the protective activity of PC was more significant in the post-treated group than pre-treated group. The significant decrease of malodialdehyde and increase of glutathion, catalase activity were observed in the liver homogenate of PC treated rats. Based on these findings, it is suggested that PC has potent hepatoprotective effects and the mechanism of the protection may be related to antioxidation pathways.
