Abstract
Introduction. Acute liver damage with ethanol and its surrogates and chemicals remains an urgent problem. Therefore, studies of the use of hepatoprotector in acute liver damage by various toxicants in the experiment are relevant. The purpose of this study is an experimental evaluation of the use of ademetionine in the early stages of the toxic effects of carbon tetrachloride and ethanol. Materials and methods. The therapeutic effect of the drug “Heptor” in acute intoxication with carbon tetrachloride (subcutaneous administration at a dose of 2 g/kg) and ethanol (oral administration at a dose of 4 g/kg weight) was studied. Studies of metabolic processes in the liver were carried out based on biochemical parameters of rat blood serum. Results. The studies showed that normalization of metabolic processes was observed after introducing “Heptor” against the background of exposure to both toxicants. The therapeutic effect of ademetionine in the case of carbon tetrachloride intoxication had a positive impact after 24 hours of administration and persisted after 72 hours of the experiment. These provisions were based on the results obtained: the restoration of the activity of marker enzymes of hepatocytes (AsAT, AlAT, LDH), the concentration of uric acid and cholesterol, and the indicators of protein metabolism were revealed. The introduction of ademetionine after ethanol intoxication helped restore the function of hepatocytes, which led to the normalization of protein metabolism. The drug stopped hyperenzymemia, which confirmed its membrane-protective properties. Conclusion. “Heptor” has a regenerating, detoxifying and membrane-protective effect in acute liver lesions with carbon tetrachloride and ethanol. The obtained data confirm the universality of this drug, based on the possibility of using various mechanisms of therapeutic action, which allows us to recommend ademetionine as a hepatoprotector to prevent early liver damage when exposed to high doses of multiple toxicants.
