ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Our study was designed to assess whether the extract of Angelica gigas can lower serum alcohol and acetaldehyde concentration in drunken rats.

Methods :
We divided Sprague-Dawley male rats into 3 groups of a Vehicle control, Positive control and Angelica gigas group. Serum alcohol and acetaldehyde levels were checked at baseline, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after drinking ethanol. Independent t-test was performed to assess the difference of the serum concentrations between the Angelica gigas induced group and the control group.

Results:
Angelica gigas lowered the serum acetaldehyde concentration. However, it did not lower alcohol concentration effect.

Conclusions:
We assume that Angelica gigas could be effective for alcohol-induced hangover.
Key words: Angelica gigas, Alcohol, Acetaldehyde, Hangover.
