Abstract
To assess the protective effect of diphenyl dimethyl bicarboxylate (DDB)in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) – induced fatty liver in male rats .Fattyliver was induced by single intraperitoneal ( IP ) CCl4 dose of 0.2mL /kg ,treated group was given the same CCl4 dose , then given oral daily dosesof DDB as 300 mg /kg body weight for 4 weeks . A control group , givensaline orally was run against the other two groups . Each group consistedof 10 male Wistar albino rats. Liver weight ( in g ) , liver tissue contents oftotal protein ( TP) , total lipids (TL) , phospholipids (PL) , total cholesterol(TC) and triglycerides (TG) as mg / g wet tissue were investigated. CCl4treatment significantly increased liver tissue weight , TL ,TC , TG , butdecreased both TP and PL . DDB treatment after CCl4 intoxication ,recovered these variables near normalcy. The study substantiates theprotective action of DDB against CCl4 – induced fatty liver , throughassessment of most tissue parameters known to be disrupted in fatty liver. The drug significantly decreased both liver weight ,TL ,TC ,TG andincreased both PL and TP , so improved fat mobilization from chemicalinducedfatty liver (Afr. J. Biomed. Res. 9:77 – 81, May 2006)Keywords: Fatty liver , rats , carbon tetrachloride , DDB , total protein , total lipids ,total cholesterol , phospholipids , triglycerides
