In recent years, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common chronic liver disease globally. Studies indicate that the gut-liver axis plays an important role in the occurrence and development of this disease. Our previous studies showed that the gut microbiota and gut meta...
The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotection of Schisandra chinensis Caulis polysaccharides (SCP) in the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by high-fat diet (HFD) in rats. A total of 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group (CON), model group...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are major chronic liver diseases associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aimed to establish a short-term modified Western diet (mWD)-induced NAFLD model in middle-aged mice and ...
Alcohol-associated fatty liver disease (AFLD) is driven by ethanol-induced metabolic dysregulation and hepatic inflammation, with gut dysbiosis and endotoxin-triggered innate immune activation implicated in disease progression. Platycodin D (PD), a triterpenoid saponin from Platycodon grandifloru...
Background & Aims:
Intestinal dysbiosis contributes to the pathogenesis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), though precise bacterial targets and mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. This study investigated whether the depletion of Alistipes putredinis (AP) in adol...
Objectives: To observe the pharmacokinetic differences of schisantherin B (STB) in the blood and liver of normal and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) mice, as well as the changes in CYP450 enzymes in MAFLD mice. Methods: A MAFLD model was established in C57 mice fed with a high-fa...
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) prevalence is rising with no pharmacotherapy approved. A major hurdle in NASH drug development is the poor translatability of preclinical studies to safe/effective clinical outcomes, and recent failures highlight a need to identify new targetable pathways. Dysr...
