Comparison of the preventive activity of isorhamnetin glycosides from Atsumi-kabu (Red turnip, Brassica, campestris L.) leaves on carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in mice

摘要

Isorhamnetin 3-O-glucoside, which was. contained together with isorhamnetin 3,7-di-O-glucoside in atsumi-kabu leaves, suppressed increases in the plasma ALT and AST activities of mice with liver injury induced by the injection of carbon tetrachloride, but no suppression by isorhamnetin 3,7-di-O-glucoside was apparent. This result indicates that the release of glucose at the 7-position in isorhamnetin 3,7-di-O-glucoside was very important to mitigating liver injury.
