In vivo protective effect against ethanol metabolism and liver injury of oyster (Crassostrea Gigas) extracts obtained via subcritical water processing.

ABSTRACT: The present study assesses hepatoprotective effects of raw oyster lyophilized powder (OP) and subcritical water treated oyster powder (SOP) on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced toxicity and acute ethanol intoxication in mice. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis revealed that four phenolic compounds and glucose were identified from the SOP. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and malondialdehyde were considerably lower for the oyster extracts and the levels of glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteinesynthetase, glutathione S-transferase, and glutathione reductase were higher in the D-GalN induced mice compared with those in the controls. Histology analysis suggested that SOP can protect against and heal the D-GalN toxified liver. For the acute ethanol intox
