Abstract:

The present study aimed at investigating the beneficial effects of co-administering granulocyte colony–stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF) in a model of chronic liver injury induced by thioacetamide (TAA). Biochemical and histopathology- cal examinations were performed on serum and liver specimens. At the end of the treatment period, the rats were anesthetized with ether, serum was collected and sections of randomly selected fixed liver specimens from each group were embedded in paraffin and processed for light microscopy by staining individual sections with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain. Administration of a combination of G-CSF+SCF was carried out two weeks after the TAA treatment. Livers of rats treated with TAA alone exhibited damage, which was significantly less in the group treated with the combination of SCF and G-CSF. Albumin level was 2.35 (g/dl) in the G-CSF+SCF and 1.03 in the TAA-alone group. These differences were statistically significant (P0.05). The albumin level was 2,35 (g/dl) in the G-CSF +SCF and versus 1.03 in the TAA-alone group. These differences in the albumin level were statistically significant (P0.05).

Effects of Combination of G-CSF and SCF One Week Prior to Liver Injury In Acute liver Damage Model Induced by Thioacetamide Administration

Background: There are many reports regarding to effects of Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and stem cell factor (SCF)alone in liver repair .But conflicting data have been reported regarding the role of growth factors such as G-CSF and SCF in the liver regeneration system. Also, there is not such data regarding to effects of co-administration both of G-CSF and SCF in the liver dama...

Co-administration of cyclosporine an alleviates thioacetamide-induced liver injury.

AIM To investigate the effects of cyclosporine A (CsA) on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver injury. METHODS CsA was co-administrated (7.5 microg/kg body weight per day, i.p.) into rat to investigate the role of CsA on TAA-(200 mg/kg body weight per 3 d for 30 d, i.p.)induced liver injury. RESULTS The data show that TAA caused liver fibrosis in rat after 30 d of treatment. CsA alleviates the...
