Abstract
Alcohol consumption causes severe liver damage and oxidative stress. This study investigated the hepatoprotective effects of enzymatic porcine placenta hydrolysate (EPPH) in Sprague–Dawley rats under acute alcohol administration. EPPH significantly reduced plasma ethanol and acetaldehyde levels in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, EPPH decreased the hepatic levels of malondialdehyde and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and suppressed Cyp2e1 mRNA expression. EPPH decreased the plasma alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels and increased the hepatic NAD+/NADH ratio. Hepatic transcriptome analysis revealed the significant regulation of key genes involved in inflammation, alcohol response, and apoptosis. Phosphokinase array analysis demonstrated that EPPH reduced phosphorylation of CASP9, BAX, TP53, and CHK2, thereby facilitating reactive oxygen species removal and suppressing apoptosis. Additionally, qPCR confirmed EPPH reduced Bax and Caspase9 mRNA levels, while immunoblotting showed decreased phosphorylation of TP53 and CHK2. These findings suggest that EPPH improves hepatic alcohol metabolism and reduces alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
