다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In order to evaluate the protective effect of Kamicheungkantang(KCKT) on hepatic damage induced by CCl_4, the study was done. The blood chemistry and histological study were done following oral administration with materials. The results were obtained as follows.
1.KCKT extracts didn't show cytotoxicity against BALB/C mouse lung fibroblast cell.
2.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum aspartate aminotransferase(ALT) was significantly decreased in KCKT treated group as compared with control group.
3.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST) was significantly decreased in KCKT treated group as compared with control group.
4.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) was siginificantly decreased in KCKT treated group as compared with control group.
5.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) was insignificantly decreased in KCKT but insignificantly as compared with control group.
6.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum cholestorol was significantly decreased in KCKT treated group as compared with control group.
7.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum triglyceride was insignificantly decreased in KCKT treated groups as compared with data of control.
8.In the hepatotoxicity with CCl_4, serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, r-GTP were not changed in KCKT treated groups as compared with data of control.
9.In histopathological changes, fatty changes, vacuole, nucleotic changes and fibrosis were observed in control group and degree of changes was increased over time. Whereas no differences were observed in KCKT treated group
These results suggested that KCKT extracts might be usefully applied for treatment of hapatic disease and also it was necessary to do more studies about its mechanisms.
