Abstract: AIM: To study the effect of Danhong Zhiganching capsules on the experimental fatty liver in rats.METHODS: Male SD rats were treated by high fat diet for 6-week after being treated by a low dose of CCl4 to induce fatty liver model.Then, drugs were given by oral to the rats, the contents of triglyeride, total cholesterol in serum and liver tissue, the contents of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde in serum and the contents of free fatty acids in liver tissue acted as indexes to determine the effect of Danhong Zhiganching capsules.RESULTS: The contents of triglyeride and total cholesterol in serum and liver tissue of rats were significantly reduced by Danhong Zhiganching capsules, and so it is with the contents of free fatty acids in liver tissue (P<0.01,P<0.05).The contents of superoxide dismutase in serum was increased markedly by Danhong Zhiganching capsules and the contents of malondialdehyde was decreased (P<0.01,P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Danhong Zhiganching capsules show great effects on the experimental fatty liver induced by a low dose of CCl4 and high fat diet.

Key words: non-alcoholic fatty liver, high fat diet, Danhong Zhiganching capsule
