Liquiritigenin Protects Rats from Carbon Tetrachloride Induced Hepatic Injury through PGC-1α Pathway
Figure 2
Liquiritigenin inhibited hepatocyte apoptosis in CCl4 treated rat livers. The apoptotic cells in rat liver sections were detected with a commercial TUNEL kit. The results showed increased apoptosis in rat liver exposed to CCl4 while liquiritigenin protected the liver cells from CCl4-induced apoptosis.
