title: [Protective action of Acanthopanax giraldii harms polysaccharides against experimental liver injury in rats and mice].
abstract: The experimental data indicate that Acanthopanax giraldii polysaccharides (AGP) significantly inhibit the elevation of serum ALT in CCl4-, D-galactosamine- and thioacetamide-intoxicated rats and mice. In CCl4-intoxicated mice, the retention of serum BSP was also reduced obviously by AGP. AGP was found to shorten the pentobarbital sleeping time in both normal and CCl4-intoxicated mice.
