Banxia Xiexin Tang attenuates high glucose-induced hepatocyte injury by activating SOD2 to scavenge ROS via PGC-1α/IGFBP1.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the protective mechanism of Banxia Xiexin Tang (BXXXT) on liver cell damage caused by high glucose (H-G) and to clarify its molecular regulatory pathways. First, the main components in BXXXT-containing serum were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to provide basic data for subsequent experiments. Subsequently, the effect of BXXXT on high glucose (H-G)-induced hepatocyte activity was evaluated through screening of the optimal concentration of drug-containing serum. Experimental results showed that BXXXT significantly reduced the loss of cell activity caused by high glucose. Further research focuses on the regulatory effect of BXXXT on high glucose-induced hepatocyte apoptosis, especially its effect on the PGC-1α (peroxisome proliferator-act
