[The effect of prednisolone on the development of the galactosamine hepatitis of young and old rats (author's transl)].
The present work reports on kinetic and morphological studies of one hundred female albino rats after the administration of galactosamine and galactosamine and prednisolone. The results demonstrate a significant higher increase of the serum transaminasess got and gpt in the older than in the younger rats as well as a protecting effect of prenisolone against galactosamine produced disturbances. In the thirty months old rats the protection against morphological and biochemical disturbances was only demonstrable for the first twelve hours after the administration of galactosamine.
