Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the protective effects of tender coconut water (TCW) against liver injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).
- Mice pre-treated with TCW showed reduced liver damage and inflammation markers, along with overall lower cytokine levels compared to those fed sugar water.
- TCW also alleviated remote lung injury by decreasing neutrophil infiltration and inflammatory cytokines, indicating that decreased macrophage activation may play a role in its protective effects.

Article Synopsis
- Tender coconut water (TCW) has protective properties against toxic liver injury, improving the viability of liver cells (hepatocytes).
- TCW inhibits harmful inflammation by suppressing certain gene expressions and increasing protective proteins in the cells during a sepsis model.
- The study shows that TCW prevents hepatocyte damage by targeting specific signaling pathways, enhancing its potential as a natural therapeutic option for liver injuries.
