Primary graft dysfunction is a major early complication following liver transplantation, potentially leading to retransplantation or patient death. Coagulation Factor V (FV) and ALT have emerged as important biomarkers in assessing liver function, yet their role as early predictors of graft loss has not been fully validated. The aim of this study is to conduct an internal validation of published results on the applicability of FV and ALT for diagnosing graft dysfunction and its predictive ability for graft loss within the first 90 days.

Luteolin-7-O-glucoside, isoharmnentin, and apigenin were involved in the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity, while oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol showed noteworthy potential. Secoiridoids contributed to the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitory activity and antioxidant capacity.
