Purpose : This study examined the effect of Tongbiyeum (TBY) on rats with fatty livers. Methods : After administration of TBY extracts to rats with fatty livers, body weight, liver weight, serum, cholesterol, TG, HDL-cholesterol were measured, and histopathological changes were observed. Results : In proportion to density, TBY decreased liver weight and serum TG levels and suppressed fat accumulation and liver cell death, but increased serum HDL levels in comparison with those of controls. Conclusion : TBY might be considered to be used to control fatty liver by inhibiting absorption and storage of TG.
