AIM To evaluate the effect of oxymatrine（OMT） on hepatocyte apoptosis in rats with lipopolysaccharide（LPS）/D-galactosamine（D-Gal N）-induced acute liver failure（ALF）. METHODS LPS/D-Gal N was used to establish a model of ALF in rats. To evaluate the effect of OMT, we assessed apoptosis by transmission electron microscopy, and the pathological changes in the liver by light microscopy with hematoxylin and eosin staining. An automated biochemical analyzer was used to measure serum alanine aminotransf...
