[The correction with hepatic protectors of structural metabolic disorders in the liver in D-galactosamine poisoning].

The hepatoprotective agents silybinin, essentiale and eplir (the complex of phospholipids and caratinoids from the mud) prevent in D-galactosamine-induced intoxication of rats the development of hepatitis, hepatocyte necrosis, a decrease in hepatocytes of the activity of the enzymes of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, labilization of lysosomes. These drugs stimulate D-galactosamine-suppressed antitoxic function of the liver: they increase the contents of RNA, cytochromes P-450, b5, the activity of amidopyrine-D-demethylase, hydroxylases of hexobarbital and aniline, improve the activity of the respiratory chain of microsomes, counteract inactivation of cytochrome P-450 into cytochrome P-420. Essentiale and eplir activate conjugation of xenobiotics with reduced glutathione.
