Toxic hepatitis was induced with carbon tetrachloride in mice. L-4-oxalysine (I-677) l00mg/kg injected daily has been proved to be effective in lowering the serum glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) level in both aoute and subacute liver injuries. Pathological examinations also showed that the degeneration and necrosis of liver cells were protected by the administration of I-677.

L-4-oxalysine (I-677) l00mg/kg injected daily has been proved to be effective in lowering the serum glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) level in both aoute and subacute liver injuries. Pathological examinations also showed that the degeneration and necrosis of liver cells were protected by the administration of I-677. In the course of inducing experimental liver oirrhosis with CCl_4, I-677 administered for 8 weeks affected neither liver function besides a lowering of serum bilirubin, nor liver collagen content and histological appearance. The mechanism of serum GPT-lowering was found to be a lowering of hepatic enzyme activity. No direct inhibition on the activity of both liver and serum GPT was observed in vitro. The transaminase-lowering effect of I-677 could not be antagonized by simultaneous administrations of L-lysine. Amino-oxyacetic acid, a GPT inhibitor, showed potent inhibition on the GPT activity in vitro, but not in vivo. Large doses of I-677 (8-32 times the clinical dose) for 11 weeks in rats induced a lowering of serum albumin, a decrease of incorporation of ~3H-lysine into serum protein, and an increase of the lipid of liver. This revealed that albumin synthesis and lipid transport function of liver were inhibited by I-677, but this effect could be antagonized by L-lysine. 用四氯化碳引起小白鼠中毒性肝炎,同时每天注射I-677 100毫克/公斤,对一次中毒的急性肝损伤或反复中毒5次疗程15天的亚急性肝损伤都有明显的降低血清谷丙转氨酶(GPT)作用,病理切片证明肝细胞变性和坏死程度都较对照组为轻。在四氯化碳中毒连续8周引起肝硬化的过程中,每日给予I-677,除血清胆红素降低外,对其他肝功能、肝胶元含量和肝组织切片检查,均无明显影响。I-677作用机理的研究发见,血清GPT的降低与肝组织GPT的降低有关,同时给予L-赖氨酸,不能对抗其降酶作用。I-677与肝匀浆或高GPT血清在体外培养,未观察到对GPT的直接抑制作用。与GPT抑制剂氨氧醋酸比较,后者在体外有明显抑制GPT作用而体内则无降酶效果。大白鼠每日灌胃I-677 80~320毫克/公斤(临床剂量的8~32倍),连续11周,可引起血清白蛋白的降低和丙球蛋白的升高。用氚标记赖氨酸对蛋白的掺入试验也证明,大剂量I-677对肝脏的蛋白质合成和脂肪转运有一定影响,但这种作用可被赖氨酸所对抗。 Schizandrin B, one of the components isolated from Fructus Schizandrae, was found to have protective action on liver injury and to increase the weight of liver in mice. In order to elucidate the cause and implications of the liver enlargement by Schizandrirn B, some studies were carried out in mice. The results indicate that the content of water, protein, RNA, glycogen and total lipid per gram liver of the group given Schizandrin B was almost the same as those of the control group, but... Schizandrin B, one of the components isolated from Fructus Schizandrae, was found to have protective action on liver injury and to increase the weight of liver in mice. In order to elucidate the cause and implications of the liver enlargement by Schizandrirn B, some studies were carried out in mice. The results indicate that the content of water, protein, RNA, glycogen and total lipid per gram liver of the group given Schizandrin B was almost the same as those of the control group, but the amount of all these biochemical constituents markedly increased. The DNA content per gram liver decreased, although the total amount of DNA in whole liver was the same as that of the control.In partially hepatectomized mice, Schizandrin B was also shown to increase the protein, RNA and DNA contents as well as, mitosis of liver cells. In addition, Schizandrin B Was found to enhance-the incorporation of ~(14)G-phenylalanine into liver protein, and to increase hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 and protein contents significantly. From these results, it may be concluded that Schizandrin B is'an inducing agent of drug metabolizing enzyme, and the enlargement of the liver caused by Schizandrin B is mainly, due to hypertrophy and to a lesser degree, hyperplasia. However, Schizandrin B is different from phenobarbital in the respectof inducing drug metabolizing enzyme. The difference is that phenobarbital also induced an increase of liver cell microsomal RNA and phospholipid contents. Besides, phenobarbital wasshown to be able to shorten the survival time of CC14-intoxicated mice, while Schizandrin B did not. 五味子乙素系从中药五味子分离出的成分之一,有抗肝损伤和解毒作用,同时亦引起小鼠肝脏重量增大。经进一步研究,发现五味子乙素对正常小鼠肝脏每克组织中水分、蛋白质、RNA、糖原及总脂含量均无明显影响,但在整个肝脏中上述成分含量均显著增加。每克肝组织中DNA含量稍降低,整个肝脏中DNA含量则无明显变化。对部分切除肝脏的小鼠再生肝,五味子乙素能明显引起整个肝脏中蛋白质,PLNA和DNA含量以及细胞核分裂数增加。此外,五味子乙素能显著促进~(14)C-苯丙氨酸掺入肝脏蛋白质,并使肝细胞微粒体细胞色素P-450及蛋白质含量显著增加。以上结果表明,五味子乙素对药酶有诱导作用,其引起的肝脏增大主要系肝实质细胞体积增大,同时伴有肝细胞增生。五味子乙素引起的肝脏增大似非病理性损害的表现,而是由于诱导药酶同时出现肝细胞肥大的表现。 The isolation, purification and identification of liver-specific membrane lipo-protein (LSP) is briefly presented. Human fetal liver was homogenized and submitted to 105,000 g for 1 hour. The supernatent was detected with presence of LSP. It was then fractioned by chromatography through Sephadex G-100 and Sephadex G-200. LSP revealed in the first peak.Nine rabbits of both sexes, weighing about 3 kg, were immunized with LSP to prepare antiserum. 80 sera of various liver disease patients were detected. Evidence... The isolation, purification and identification of liver-specific membrane lipo-protein (LSP) is briefly presented. Human fetal liver was homogenized and submitted to 105,000 g for 1 hour. The supernatent was detected with presence of LSP. It was then fractioned by chromatography through Sephadex G-100 and Sephadex G-200. LSP revealed in the first peak.Nine rabbits of both sexes, weighing about 3 kg, were immunized with LSP to prepare antiserum. 80 sera of various liver disease patients were detected. Evidence of an immune response to the LSP was present in 18 of 23 cases (78.2%) of chronic active hepatitis. This observation suggests that the LSP may play an important role in the pathogenesis of liver injury. 本文报道了肝特异性膜脂蛋白(LSP)的分离提纯和鉴定。将人胎肝制成匀浆液,经105,000g/1小时离心后,上清液中存有肝特异性抗原。上液在Sephadex G-100及Sephadex G200凝胶层析后,LSP存在于第一峰中。用LSP免疫9只家兔(体重约3公斤),制备抗血清,应用抗-LSP检测了80例不同类型肝病患者的血清中LSP滴度,显示在18/23(78.2%)的慢性活动性肝炎患者中存在对LSP免疫反应,这一观察提示了在肝细胞损害的发病机理中,LSP起着重要的作用,
