title: [Protective effects of liu tea on CCl4 injured liver and its working mechanism].
abstract: Liu Tea can effectively prevent the elevation of SGPT and SGOT induced by CCl4 in mice, reduce MDA and elevate GSH and GSH-px levels. It also induces the anabolism of microsomal protein and hepatocyte microsomal cytochrome P-450. These results suggest that Liu Tea has protective effects on the liver, which may be related to the clearing of free radicals and inhibition of lipid peroxidation.
