The results showed that MB effectively ameliorated alcohol-induced liver lipid metabolism (decreasing serum total cholesterol [TC], triglyceride [TG], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C]), oxidative stress (decreasing hepatic maleic dialdehyde [MDA] level, increasing catalase [CAT], superoxide dismutase [SOD], alcohol dehydrogenase [ADH] and glutathione [GSH] hepatic activities), and inflammatory response (decreasing hepatic lipopolysaccharide [LPS], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α], Interferon-γ [IFN-γ] and interleukin 6 [IL-6]), repaired liver function (reducing serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and liver lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] activity). 16S amplicon sequencing showed that MB administration effectively modulated intestinal flora and its metabolism, which were highly correlated with the improvement of liver function and intestinal barrier function. Liver metabolomics analysis indicated that MB administration regulated 69 liver potential biomarkers involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and so on. Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB) analysis revealed that MB administration modulated gene transcription and protein expression related to liver lipid metabolism and oxidative stress.

(CPM) based on palygorskite-chitosan composite aerogel (Pal-CS aerogel) sieving effect. We focused on the influence of aerogels' pore structure on the selective deproteinization of CPM. In comparison to palygorskite or chitosan, Pal-CS aerogel exhibited a superior advantage in selectively deproteinization due to its unique pore structure. Furthermore, under the concentration conditions of 2% Pal and 0.8% CS, the deproteinization rate (<i>Dr</i>%), polysaccharide adsorption rate (<i>Pr</i>%) and selectivity coefficient (<i>Kc</i>) reached impressive values of 95.08 ± 1.47%, 3.29 ± 0.14% and 28.95 ± 0.82, respectively. The findings from pore size analysis revealed that an appropriate size ranging from 0.1 μm to 3.0 μm significantly contributed to the selectively deproteinization based on the sieving effect.
