Popis: OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of three classical anti-jaundice formulas Yinchenhao Decoction (YCHD). Yinchen Wuling San (YCWLS) and Zhizi Baipi Decoction (ZZBPD) on liver fibrosis induced by dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) in rats and explore the formula-syndrome relationship. METHODS Forty-eight rats were weighted, and divided into five groups: normal control, DMN, YCHD, YCWLS and ZZBPD groups using stratified random method. Liver fibrosis in rats was induced by intraperitoneal injection of DMN for 4 weeks at the dosage 10 mg/kg body weight, once per day for 3 consecutive days in each week. Each groups was gavaged with distilled water (control or model group), YCHD, YCWLS and ZZBPD respectively in the last 2-week modeling period. At the end of the 4th week, rats were sacrificed and their blood sample and liver tissue were taken for detecting pathology and analyzing of hydroxyproline (Hyp) and liver function. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, DMN model group showed liver damage and liver fibrosis with remarkably increased Hyp content (P
