1970 or so, it was observed for the first time in China that Schisandra powder and honey pills can reduce serum alanine aminotransferase in patients with chronic hepatitis. Soon after, animal experiments proved that the effective component of reducing SGPT of Rhizoma Osmundae existed in the stone and was water-insoluble component. Schisandra chinensis contains more than ten kinds of effective components, among which schisandrin B, C, alcohol B, ester B, ester C and ester D all have obvious effects of reducing SGPT, especially protecting liver cells from damage caused by chemical poisons. Recently, the total effective rate of Schisandra chinensis in reducing SGPT is above 84%, and that of normal people is about 75%. It also has a significant effect on reducing SGPT of drug-induced hepatitis, but it has no obvious effect on reducing musk turbidity. It can improve some symptoms of hepatitis patients, such as anorexia, fatigue, abdominal distension, etc. Schisandra chinensis has no obvious effect on HBsAg turning negative.
In addition, Schisandra chinensis can promote the synthesis of protein and glycogen in liver and induce drug metabolizing enzymes. Improve the detoxification function and inhibit the cellular immune function of the body to a certain extent. It is observed that some patients with hepatosplenomegaly have different degrees of retraction after oral administration of Schisandra chinensis preparation. The main problem of the five flavors is that the long-term curative effect is not ideal and there is a rebound. The recurrence rate is about 50% after stopping SGPT 1-6 months, but the level of SGPT after recovery is generally lower than that before treatment, and it is still effective after treatment.
