Effects of Danqing Soft Capsule on Rats with Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Objective:To observe the effects of Danqing Soft Capsule(DSC) on rat with non-alcoholic fatty liver(NAFLD).Method:The SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,DSC high dose group,medium dose group,low dose group,and polyene phosphatidyl choline(PPC) group.Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease model in SD rats was established with high fat diet.DSC high dose group,medium dose group and low dose group were intervened with different concentrations of DSC,which are respectively equivalent to petroleum ether extract of salvia 0.456,0.228,0.114 g·kg-1.PPC group was intervened with PPC of 0.159 g·kg-1ig.Control group and model group were administered the same volume(1.2 mL·kg-1,ig) of distilled water.After treatment for 4 weeks,rat liver pathological changes,TG,TC level,and blood lipids levels were observed.Result:The levels of TC,TG,LDL-C in serum and the levels of TG and TC in liver of control group,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) groups and western medicine(WM) group were significantly lower than those of model group(P0.01,P0.05).Compared with those in model group,the degrees of fatty degeneration of liver cells in TCM groups and WM group were significantly improved(P0.01).Conclusion:DSC can reduce the level of TG,TC,LDL in serum as well as the level of TG and TC in liver.It can improve the steatosis of liver in rats with NAFLD.
