Abstrakt: Abstract: An 8-day biliary obstruction in rats caused by ligation of the common bile duct is accompanied by an increase in bilirubin blood content and alanine aminotransferase activity. The hepatic xenobiotic-metabolizing activity (intensities of microsomal oxidation and glucuronidation) decreases in parallel with the inhibition of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase). A comparative study of Heptral, Ursofalk, Essentiale, and Cordiamin (nikethamide) showed that Cordiamin displays the most significant enzymestabilizing activity.
