This study was carried out to investigate effects of Cuscutae semen extract(C. S. E) on $CCI_4$-induced liver damage in rabbits and acute toxicity in mice. $LD_{50}(mg/kg)$ of C. S. E. was 7.83g/kg by intraperitoneal administration in mice. C. S. E. groups were showed more rapid recuperation than the control group intoxicated by $CCI_4$ only. SGPT activity was lowered significantly in 800mg/kg after 6 days. The levels of total cholesterol and total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were decreased apparently in 800mg/kg from 6 days. It is suggested that C. S. E. can be administered not only as a therapeutic agent(such as liver tonics) but also a healthy food to shorten the recovery time in liver diseases.
