The present invention relates to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine, and in particular to the use of a composition in the preparation of a
drug for treating metabolic-related
fatty liver disease. The composition includes:
coptis root,
pinellia tuber, tuckahoe, immature bitter orange, safflower,
lotus seed heart,
sophora flavescens,
cyperus rotundus,
ginseng,
ophiopogon japonicus and liquorice. The composition of the present invention is used to reduce the
weight gain and liver index of rats with metabolic-related
fatty liver disease, reduce the damage of metabolic-related
fatty liver disease to
rat liver, reduce the expression levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, ALT and AST in serum of metabolic-related fatty
liver disease, increase the expression of HDL-C in serum, significantly upregulate the expression of PPARα, ACOX1, CPT-1, and LCAD mRNA in
liver tissue, regulate the expression of key enzymes in the β-oxidation pathway of long-chain fatty acids, promote β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids, reduce
fat accumulation and the accumulation of triglycerides, thereby delaying
liver fatty degeneration, inhibiting
liver fat deposition, and playing a role in liver protection, and can be used for the treatment of metabolic-related fatty
liver disease.
