Hepatoprotective properties of phospholiv, a preparation containing phosphatidylcholine from sunflower seeds and glycyrrhizic acid, in modeled cirrhosis of rat liver

Hepatoprotective effect of Phospholiv, a phospholipid preparation containing phosphatidylcholine from sunflower seeds and glycyrrhizic acid trisodium salt, is studied using a model of CCl^sub 4^-induced cirrhosis of the liver. Phospholiv protects hepatic tissues from necrotic and dystrophic changes and prevents the development of cirrhosis. Phospholiv restores impaired RNA and protein synthes is under conditions of chronic intoxication.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
