|
The effect of Banhasasim-tang extracts on the cardiac toxicity and general symptom induced by Doxorubicin administration(Three injection protocol) were monitored using male ICR mice. The changes of body weight, clinical signs, necropsy findings and organ weights of heart were observed. The results were as followed. 1. Decrease of body weight after Doxorubicin treatment were dose-dependently inhibited by Banhasasim-tang extracts. 2. The degrees of anorexia, ataxia and dehydration that were observed in Doxorubicin treatment group were dose-dependently inhibited by Banhasasim-tang extracts. 3. Increase of absolute and relative heart weight observed in Doxorubicin treatment group were dose-dependently inhibited by Banhasasim-tang extracts. In addition. the degrees of heart congestion and enlargement were significantly and dose-dependently decreased after Banhasasim-tang extracts dosing groups compared to that of Doxorubicin treatment group. In conclusion, the toxicity of Doxorubicin treatment(decrease of body weights, clinical signs such as anorexia, ataxia and dehydration, changes of organ weights of heart) was inhibited and/or prevented by Banhasasim-tang extracts. According to these results. it is considered that Banhasasim-tang has some preventive effect against to toxicity induced by Doxorubicin.
