CCL4-induced Chronic Liver Fibrosis Models in SD Rat

Liver fibrosis is a pathological wound-healing response to chronic liver injury characterized by excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins that disrupt normal liver structure. Common causes include viral hepatitis, alcohol abuse, metabolic dysfunction, and toxic impairment. If left untreated, fibrosis may progress to cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and liver failure.

CCL4-induced chronic liver fibrosis models in SD rat

CCl4 generates toxic free radicals via CYP2E1 metabolism, causing lipid peroxidation, necrosis, and activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). The CCl4-induced liver fibrosis model is a gold-standard preclinical system for studying hepatic fibrogenesis, mimicking human progression from hepatocyte injury → inflammation → fibrosis → cirrhosis.

Fig.2 Body weight and serum ALT, AST, ALP, TBA and T-BIL of CCL4-induced rat chronic liver fibrosis models


Body weight curve of CCL4-induced rat chronic liver fibrosis models is shown in Fig. 2A. The serum level of ALT, AST, ALP, TBA and T-BIL were significantly higher in CCL4-induced rat chronic liver fibrosis models compared to the control group (Fig. 2B-D). Data were presented by mean ± SEM, N=25-45. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001 and ****, p < 0.0001
