摘要: This study examined the hepatoprotective effects of Agrimonia eupatoria water extract (AE) against chronic ethanol-induced liver injury. Rats were fed a Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet for 8 weeks. Animals treated orally with AE at 10, 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg/day. After consumption ethanol, serum aminotransferase activities pro-inflammatory cytokines markedly increased, those increases attenuated by AE. The cytochrome P450 2E1 activity lipid peroxidation increased after ethanol consumption, while reduced glutathione concentration decreased. Those changes Chronic levels Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) myeloid differentiation factor 88 protein expression, inducible nitric oxide synthase cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA nuclear translocation factor-kappa B, which was Our results suggest that ameliorates injury, protection is likely due to suppression oxidative stress TLR-mediated inflammatory signaling.
