Brief summary
The increase in the incidence of cirrhosis of the liver makes the urgent problem of finding new drugs for the treatment of toxic liver damage of various etiologies and the prevention of the development of their complications, such as fibrosis and cirrhosis of the liver. Currently, much attention is paid to preparations of glutathione disulfide in the complex therapy of toxic liver lesions. At the same time, information about the hepatoprotective and antifibrotic effects of glutathione disulfide preparations in the modern scientific literature is limited, which was the reason for this study. In the course of an experimental study on laboratory animals, a comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of the use of inosine glycyl-cysteinyl-glutamate disodium and ademethionine in the treatment of experimental toxic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis induced by the administration of ethanol in combination with N - nitrosodimethylamine was carried out. Laboratory animals, after modeling ethanol/nitrosodimethylamine induced liver cirrhosis, were divided into four groups. The first group - animals with ethanol/nitrosodimethylamine induced hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver without treatment. The second group - animals with ethanol/nitrosodimethylamine induced hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver were treated with saline solution. The third and fourth groups received preparations of inosine glycyl-cysteinyl-glutamate disodium and ademethionine, respectively. Intact animals that did not receive toxicants and medications were allocated to a separate group. The studied drugs were administered intraperitoneally for 6 weeks. In the course of the study, the biochemical parameters of cytolytic and cholestatic liver damage syndromes were evaluated, the histological picture of toxic liver damage and the effectiveness of the studied drugs were evaluated. Based on the data obtained, it can be argued that the presence of hepatoprotective and antifibrotic effects in the studied drugs is more pronounced in inosine glycyl-cysteinyl-glutamate disodium, which indicates the expediency of its use in the treatment of toxic liver damage of various etiologies and prevention of the development of their complications.
