Characterization and Evaluation of HGF-Loaded PLGA Nanoparticles in a CCl4-Induced Acute Liver Injury Mouse Model

Figure 6

The mechanism of HGF-loaded PLGA nanoparticles on acute liver injury induced by CCl4 in experimental mice. A single dose of CCl4 can cause acute liver injury in mice. SOD and GPX are consumed, and MDA is produced and released into blood. In addition, liver enzymes, such as AST, ALT, ALP, and T-BIL, are released into the blood. HGF-loaded nanoparticles may release HGF slowly and maintain HGF at a high concentration. HGF may protect hepatocytes, enhance the antidamage ability of hepatocytes, and protect the vitality of hepatocytes.
