[Experimental study on Rhizoma sparganii and Radices zedoariae treating hepatic fibrosis].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of rhizoma sparganii and radices zedoariae on hepatic fibrosis.


METHODS
The rat immunohepatic fibrosis model was made by intraperitoneal injection of porcine serum and treated with rhizoma sparganii and radices zedoariae. The ALT, GGT, TP, ALb, A/G, IVC, LN, HA and the pathological change of the liver were observed.


RESULTS
Rhizoma sparganii and radices zedoariae could increase TP, ALb, A/G, decrease ALT, GGT, IVC, LN, HA and improve the pathological change.


CONCLUSIONS
Rhizoma sparganii and radices zedoariae can protect hepatic cells, alleviate degeneration and necrosis, recover structure and function, and reduce the proliferation of fibrous tissue.
