Dietary provisions of diosgenin (1% w/w) for 6 days reduced the cholestatic
effects of
estradiol-17b-(b-D-glucuronide)
(1.1 mmol/100g IV) in rats (Accatino et al. 1998). In
addition, the diosgenin-supplemented diet prevented some of the cholestatic
effects of 17 a-ethynylestradiol (5 mg/kg
subcutaneously), such as increased biliary alkaline phosphatase and decreased
taurocholate SRm. |
