摘要
1 The hepatotoxic effect of CC14 was studied in the rat by using 3 well established liver function tests (plasma glucose, bilirubin and proteins) as indices of hepatic integrity. 2 The protective effect of vitamin C against this hepatotoxicity was also investigated. 3 CC14 (8 ml kg(-1) body weight) caused a decrease in the levels of plasma conjugated bilirubin, glucose and protein. 4 Vitamin C (2 g kg(-1) body weight) prevented liver damage induced by CC14. The possible mechanisms of protection are highlighted.
