CHANGES OF BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS OF RABBITS BLOOD DURING EXPERIMENTAL TOXIC HEPATITIS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF TIMOCIN
Aim. Assess the biochemical indices of animals blood at experimental toxic hepatitis caused carbon tetrachloride.
Materials and methods. Investigations were performed on 10 outbred rabbits a mass 2-3 kg with standard diet and content. Toxic hepatitis was induced by introducing to animals of carbon tetrachloride in admixture with vegetable oil (1: 1) in an amount of 2 ml for 10 days once per day.
For research was used immunomodulatory drug timocin (26092014 series, valid until 26.09.2014, the manufacturer LLC «Tib Baroi shumo», Tajikistan). Timocin was injected to animals after injection of carbon tetrachloride for 10 days once a day at a dose of 0.01 ml per 1 kg of animal body weight.
Before administration and after administration in the blood serum determined the: total protein content, cholesterol, bilirubin (total, bound and free), urea, creatinine, glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, uric acidactivity of enzymes ALT, AST, and amylase).
Results. The introduction of carbon tetrachloride contributed to the development of toxic hepatitis in rabbits, which was confirmed by a considerable increase of bilirubin, ALT and AST activity. After applying of timocin the positive dynamics of changed biochemical indices: significantly reduces the content of bound and free bilirubin, which led to the normalization of total bilirubin. ALT and AST also falls below the physiological norm.
Conclusion. Application of timocin normalize the content of bilirubin, glucose, cholesterol, ALT and AST activity, which indicates the presence of hepatoprotective properties in it.
