Synbiotics Alleviate Hepatic Damage, Intestinal Injury and Muscular Beclin-1 Elevation in Rats after Chronic Ethanol Administration.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the beneficial effects of synbiotics on liver damage, intestinal health, and muscle loss, and their relevance in rats with chronic ethanol feeding. Thirty Wistar rats fed with a control liquid diet were divided into control and synbiotics groups, which were respectively provided with water or synbiotics solution (1.5 g/kg body weight/day) for 2 weeks. From the 3rd to 8th week, the control group was divided into a C group (control liquid diet + water) and an E group (ethanol liquid diet + water). The synbiotics group was separated in to three groups, SC, ASE, and PSE. The SC group was given a control liquid diet with synbiotics solution; the ASE group was given ethanol liquid diet with synbiotics solution, and the PSE group was given ethanol liqu
