Abstract

The effects of ethanolamine on injured liver were investigated by oral administration of ethanolamine to male ddY mice 24 h after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) injection. The serum aminotransferase activities in mice with liver injury were reduced by ethanolamine treatment (10-30 mg/kg body weight). Drastically increased regenerative reaction of ethanolamine treated-CCl4 injured liver was also observed through an increase in 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine uptake. ATP concentration in liver tissue was recovered by administration of ethanolamine. These results suggest that oral administration of ethanolamine accelerates recovery from CCl4-induced liver injury.
