To investigate the antioxidative effects of an ethylacetate fraction extracted from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum L. (Chrysanthemi Flos) on the antioxidative system and lipid profiles of rats with ethanol induced hepatotoxicity. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 100～150 g were divided into 5 groups: normal group (NOR), Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction (200 mg/kg) treated group (S1), 35% ethanol (10 mL/kg) treated group (S2), Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction (200 mg/kg) and ethanol concomitantly treated group (S3) and Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction (400 mg/kg) and ethanol concomitantly treated group (S4), respectively. The antioxidative activity of each fraction was decreased in order of EtOAC, n-hexane, n-BuOH, water and chloroform. The growth rates and feed efficiency ratios were decreased by ethanol treatment, but were gradually restored to similar levels as in the NOR group by administering Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction. The whole blood concentrations of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, and the activities of ALT and AST that were elevated by ethanol were significantly decreased in the Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction treated groups. It was also observed that the activities of SOD, catalase, xanthine oxidase and GSH-Px elevated by ethanol in rat liver were markedly decreased in the Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction treated group as compared to S2. These results suggest that Chrysanthemi Flos EtOAC fraction has possible protective effects against ethanol induced hepatotoxicity in rat liver.
