Mechanism of isovitexin in alcoholic fatty liver based on metabolomics combined with molecular docking analysis / 中国药理学通报

Aim To explore the effects of isovitexin (IVT) on alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) and its mechanism based on metabolomics and in vivo methods and combined molecular docking. Methods 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control, model and IVT groups, with 6 mice in each group. The control group was fed with alcoholic liquid feed control feed, the model group and IVT group were fed with alcoholic liquid feed model feed, and the IVT group was fed daily gastric IVT (100 mg • kg

Effect of Sea Cucumber Enzymolysis Fermentation Liquid on immunosuppressed mice based on metabonomics / 中国药理学通报

Aim To prepare the sea cucumber enzy¬molysis fermentation liquid (SCEFL) by enzymatic hydrolysis of protease and fermentation of probiotics and to investigate the effect of SCEFL on the immunosup-pression induced by cyclophosphamide in mice and to explore its mechanism by metabomic method. Methods The immunosuppressive model was induced by in-traperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide. C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Levamisole group, SCEFL groups (at low, medium and high doses). The pathological changes of spleen were observed by HE staining. The proportion of CD4

Mechanism of asiatic acid in alcoholic hepatitis based on network pharmacology / 中国药理学通报

Aim To explore the mechanism of asiatic acid (AA) on alcoholic hepatitis (AH) based on the network pharmacology and experimental verification in vivo methods. Methods The potential mechanism of AA on AH was explored by data collection, network construction, and enrichment analysis. Meanwhile, the model of alcoholic hepatitis disease was induced by in-tragastric administration of edible alcohol every day in SD rats. The key related indicators were detected, including biochemical markers, inflammatory responses, alcohol metabolism, pathological changes in liver tissues, and the expression of proteins of the NF-kB pathway. Results A total of 24 overlapping targets of AA and AH were screened out, and 20 signaling path ways and 12 GO functional entries were obtained. This study focused on the first pathway, hsa05200; Pathways in cancer. The pathway contained NF-kB signaling pathway. In vivo results showed that AA significantly reduced the serum levels of ALT and AST, increased the levels of alcohol metabolism and decreased the liver content of TNF-a and GSH. Additionally, AA significantly inhibited p-IKKa/(3, p-Ii
