Liver Functions

: Arctium lappa or burdock (Compositae family) is a perennial plant, native to Europe, Northern Asia and North America. Burdock roots are known as detoxifying herb to clear toxins from the bloodstream. It seems that its effects are on the liver functions as the main part of body in detoxifying the bloodstream. The aim of this review article was to evaluate the potency of burdock in management of liver functions in detoxifying the bloodstream. The information was extracted from electronic resources (Google scholar, Science Direct, Springer, Magiran). The results of our investigation exhibited that the studies are limited to animal studies, but the results of investigations showed that burdock roots detoxify the liver against ethanol, carbon tetrachloride (CCL4), acetaminophen, cadmium and zinc oxide by improving the functions of liver enzymes. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects of burdock roots may involve in its effects on liver enzymes and detoxifying the blood. The large clinical studies are required to confirm its efficacy on liver functions and detoxify the liver.

Significant Protective Effect

Herbal remedies are prescribed for the treatment of various liver diseases including for Hepatoprotector purpose. The present study was aimed to investigate and to know the hepatoprotective activity of Curcuma zedoaria extract combined with Morinda citrifolia extract against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Liver functions were assessed by the determination of SGOT, SGPT, ALP, and bilirubin. The results of serum analysis suggest that the use of Curcuma zedoaria extract combined with Morinda citrifolia extract exhibited significant protective effect related to the hepatic damage in CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity model and further evidence of its hepatoprotective activity

Intrasplenic Transplantation

Hepatocyte transplantation (HTx) has been shown to improve the survival of laboratory animals with experimentally induced acute liver failure and to ameliorate the physiologic abnormalities associated with liver-based metabolic deficiencies. However, the role of HTx in the treatment of liver cirrhosis (LC) has not been adequately studied. In order to address this issue, HTx was performed in rats following induction of stable LC using phenobarbital (PhB) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). Intrasplenic transplantation of 50 × 106 primary hepatocytes could significantly improve liver functions and prolong the survival of rats with irreversible, decompensated LC.

And Control

Hypophysectomy of the rat renders this animal deficient in the hormones of the anterior pituitary gland, thus causing many primary and secondary hormonal effects on basic liver functions. Biochemical studies of these alterations in the rat liver cell are quite extensive; however, relatively few morphological observations on such cells have been recorded. Because the available biochemical information was derived mostly from disrupted and fractionated liver cells, it seemed desirable to examine the problem with the techniques of electron microscopy in order to see what changes are apparent in the intact liver cell after hypophysectomy. Accordingly, liver cells from rats which had been hypophysectomized 5-120 days before sacrifice were studied. Sham-operated rats served as controls and both hypophysectomized and control rats were fasted 15 hours before sacrifice.
