Hepatotoxicity Comparison of Crude and Licorice-Processed Euodiae Fructus in Rats With Stomach Excess-Cold Syndrome

In recent years, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has become an important issue of public health. Euodiae Fructus (EF) is a commonly used herb with mild toxicity in clinic, and large doses of EF can cause significant liver damage. Licorice processing might reduce the hepatotoxicity of CEF (crude EF)...
