Abstract: Objective: To study the protective function of Gardeniayellow(SMPS) against CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.Methods: Healthy Kunming male mice, weighting (20±2)g, 50 ones were randomized into 5 groups with 10 per-group .control group, CCl4-injured group, low dose group (CCl4 injured+0.1ml SMPSsolution), medium dose group(CCl4-injured+0.2mlSMPS solution) and high dose group(CCl4-injured+0.4mlSMPS solution). SMPS solution was given i.g.5d prior to CCl4 injury.Glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and lacticde hydrogenase(LDH) activi-ties in serum were determined 18h after CCl4-injury. Hepaticmalondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH) and liver index werealso detected. Results: In SMPS treated groups, the increases of SGOT, SGPT and LDH activities in serum were inhibitedobviously. The decreases of liver GSH were reversed actually. The elevations of MDA and liver index were prevented significantly.The lesions in liver lobule were ameliorated obviously. Conclusion: Gardeniay ellow canpro-tectagainst CCl4-inducedhepatotoxicity.
