Abstract
AIM: To observe the cholagogic and anti-inflammatory effects of Lidan Huayu tablets in experimental animals.
METHODS: Murine bile output was measured to observe the effects of Lidan Huayu tablets on bile secretion and the composition or ratio of bilirubin and bile acids. Ursodeoxycholic acid was used as a positive control. The anti-inflammatory action of Lidan Huayu tablets was observed in a model of xylene-induced auricular swelling and acetic-acid-induced celiac microcapillary permeability in mice. Aspirin was used as a positive control.
RESULTS: Compared with the normal saline group, the bile secretory volume in the Lidan Huayu tablet treatment group increased significantly in healthy rats in a dose-dependent manner, and this facilitating effect on bile excretion remained for > 3 h. The output of total bilirubin and bile acids was elevated. Xylene-induced auricular swelling and body twisting response to acetic acid were significantly reduced in mice treated with Lidan Huayu tablets.
CONCLUSION: Lidan Huayu tablets possess strong cholagogic and anti-inflammatory effects and may promote the excretion of bilirubin and bile acids.
