  • - Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease linked to metabolic syndrome, and the Mongolian herbal drug Digeda-4 decoction (DGD-4) is used to treat liver injuries, though its mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • - This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of DGD-4 and its components against NAFLD in mice, using techniques like biochemical analysis, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting to investigate their mechanisms.
  • - Results showed that both DGD-4 and its separate components reduced liver injury and abnormal lipid levels by activating certain metabolic pathways and inhibiting specific proteins linked to lipid accumulation and cell death.
