A drug for hepatic diseases, particularly an ameliorant for hepatic functions and a drug for hepatitis, containing docosahexaenoic acid or a derivative thereof (DHA) as an active ingredient. The DHA as the active drug ingredient, though also taking part in the metabolism of cholesterol formed in vivo and exuding into the plasma, mainly metabolizes that cholesterol specifically which is accumulated in hepatic microsomes as a result of hypometabolism or dysbolism to thereby bring about the recovery of flexibility of a microsome lipid membrane, thus enhancing the enzymatic activity, and to significantly reduce a neutral fat, thus being prospective as an ameliorant for hepatic functions in treating fatty liver, hepatic cirrhosis, etc. The invention also provides a drug for hepatitis, which can inhibit the induction of hepatitis which is one of the factor causative of chronic hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic insufficiency, etc.
一种治疗肝病的药物,特别是一种改善肝功能的药物和一种治疗肝炎的药物,其活性成分含有二十二碳六烯酸或其衍生物(DHA)。作为活性药物成分的 DHA 虽然也参与体内形成并渗入血浆的胆固醇的代谢,但它主要代谢的是因代谢不足或代谢失调而在肝微粒体中积累的胆固醇,从而使微粒体脂膜恢复弹性、本发明还提供了一种用于治疗脂肪肝、肝硬化等的肝功能改善药物。本发明还提供了一种治疗肝炎的药物,可抑制慢性肝炎、肝硬化、肝细胞癌、肝功能不全等的致病因素之一--肝炎的诱发。
