Abstract
Aim: To discuss effects and mechanisms of allicin in hepatic fibrosis by vivo study. Materials and methods: Dividing 45 rats into 5 groups. Evaluating pathology and fibrosis by HE and Masson staining, measuring α-SMA, Collage III, Notch 1, p-AKT and p-mTOR protein expression by IHC assay and WB assay; LC 3B protein expression were evaluated by Immunofluorescence. Liver function were measured by Elisa assay. Results: With Allicin supplement, rats’ liver function, pathological and Collagen volume fraction were significantly improved with doses-dependent in liver tissues (P < 0.05, respectively); α-SMA, Collage III, Notch 1, p-AKT and p-mTOR protein expression were significantly suppressed with doses-dependent (P < 0.05, respectively); LC 3B protein expression was significantly increased with doses-dependent (P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion: Allicin improved hepatic fibrosis by authophagy up regulation via regulation Notrch1/AKT/mTOR pathway by vivo study.
