Abstract:  Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of chicory polysaccharides (CPS) on fatty-liver and investigate its pharmacodynamics. Methods: High fatty diet and white wine perfusate were used to establish the fatty liver model of rat for 8 weeks.Compared with Dongbao Gantai as the control medicine, fatty liver rats were treated by CPS for 4 weeks and contents of TC and TG, activities of ALT, AST, ALP and GGT, contents of Liver-TG and TC, and activities of DTD, SOD and MDA were determined.Conclusion: It was found that the pharmacodynamics and therapeutic function of CPS to fatty liver are: adjusting lipometabolism, reducing TG and TC; decreasing fatty degeneration of liver cell; promoting convalescence of hepatocellular function; and anti-lipid peroxidation increasing the activity of peroxidase and decreasing the content of lipid peroxidation products.
