Protective Effect of Extracts from Aloe vera L. var. chinensis (Haw.) Berg. on Experimental Hepatic Lesions and Primary Clinical Study of Aloe Injection in Patients with Hepatitis
Abstract:The injection(10~15ml/kg/d, ip×4), total glycoside (125~225mg/kg/d, ip×(3~4); 600mg/kg/d, ig×3) and crystal Ⅲ(120mg/kg/d,ip×4) of Aloe vera var. chinensis were found to be effective in lowering the elevated sGPT induced by CCl4, thioacetamide and D-aminogalactose in mice or rats. It was also observed that these agents could protect hepatic cells from the CCl4-induced injury. When dogs were given in with Aloe injection of 0.1 ml/kg/d×180, no toxicity was noted. The total effective sGPT-lowering rate of Aloe injection on 38 patients of chronic hepatitis with positive HBsAg was 86.8%.
