Hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra extracts against TCDD-induced hepatocyte damage in Jian carp (Cyprinus carpio var. Jian) by Du Jinliang, Cao Liping, Jia Rui, Liu Yingjuan, Shen Yujin, Yin Guojun

“…Jian).Jian carp were fed with diet containing 3 doses of GGE (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg diet) for 60 days before a single intraperitoneal injection of TCDD (0.6 μg/kg), 72 h after TCDD injection, blood and liver samples were taken for biochemical analysis.The results showed that GGE at 1.0 g/kg diet for 60 days prior to TCDD intoxication significantly reduced the elevated activities of ALT, AST, LDH, AKP and increased the reduced levels of total protein (TP), albumin (Alb) in the serum, markedly inhibited the reduction of the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) formation in liver tissue. …”
