Fatty liver is a metabolic disease, caused by excessive fat storing in liver. This disease leads to hypo function of liver. Recently, the number of the patients is on the increase and the age of them is on the decrease. The pathogenesis is still unclear, and no especially efficacious drug at present in the world. We, according to traditional Chinese medical theory, mainly discuss the pathogens, pathogenesis, therapeutic formula and herbs. The pathogens lie in two aspects, one is damp-heat in liver, the other is improper diet. So retention of damp-heat in the interior, stagnation of qi and accumulation of phlegm, and stagnation of phlegm with blood stasis are fatty liver's basic pathogenesis. Then, clearing heat, removing dampness, dissolving phlegm, dispersing liver and activating blood circulation are basic therapeutic methods. According to the subject above, we make up Zhigankang Capsule to treat fatty liver, which has significant effect compared with control group in a certain degree. The animal experiments show that Zhigankang Capsule could reduce enzyme and protect liver, etc. |
