objective(s):to clarify the protective effects of cichorium glandulosum (cg) extracts on thioacetamide (taa)-induced rat hepatic fibrosis. materials and methods: the dry roots of cg were smashed and percolated with 95% ethanol, and the residual was prepared into petroleum ether extract (cg-v), ethyl acetate extract (cg-vi) and n-butyl alcohol extract (cg-vii). thirty-six wistar rats were random...

BACKGROUND Cichorium glandulosum (CG), which is a Compositae family plant, is a commonly used traditional Uighur medicine capable of cleansing liver and being cholagogue, strengthening stomach, promoting digestion, inducing diuresis and reducing edema.

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Cichorium glandulosum Boiss. et Huet is used for treatment of liver disorders, and its effects are attributed to sesquiterpenes. This study aims to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of a sesquiterpene-rich fraction (SRF) from the aerial part of C. glandulosum on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in mice, and on priming with Bacillus Calmett...
