Anti-fatty liver effect The aqueous extract of Lycium barbarum L. from Ningxia (20%, 8ml/ day) can slightly inhibit the fat deposition in liver cells of mice poisoned by carbon tetrachloride and promote the regeneration of liver cells. The anti-fatty liver effect of water extract is also manifested in preventing liver dysfunction caused by carbon tetrachloride (with cholinesterase and transaminase activities as indicators). Long-term (75 days) oral administration of Lycium barbarum water extract or betaine to rats can increase the level of phospholipids in blood and liver; The contents of phospholipids and total cholesterol in the liver of rats poisoned by carbon tetrachloride decreased, but they increased when betaine or Lycium barbarum aqueous extract was given in advance or at the same time. At the same time, it can improve the detection of BSP, SGPT, alkaline phosphatase and cholinesterase. The effect of Lycium barbarum on lipid metabolism or anti-fatty liver is mainly caused by betaine, which acts as a methyl donor in vivo. 2.

It can also inhibit isolated rabbit auricle, excite isolated intestine (in isolated guinea pig small intestine, 8 mg ≌ histamine 1 μ g, whose effect can be blocked by diphenhydramine or atropine), and contract rabbit ear blood vessels.
