Hepatoprotective Effects of Polysaccharides of Croton tiglium on $\textrm{CCl}_4$ Intoxication

사염화탄소의 간독성에 대한 파두 다당류분획의 예방효과

In present study, we fractionated polysaccharides from Croton tiglium and investigated their hepatoprotective effects on CCl$_4$ intoxication. Polysaccharide fraction of which molecular weight is over 300,000 (HP) showed the most potent hepatoprotective effects on CCl$_4$ intoxication. Lipid peroxidation, sAST and sALT were used as parameters to evaluate the liver damage. Glucose, xylose and arabinose were found to be monosaccharides composing sugar moiety of HP.
