The Extraction, Biosynthesis, Health-Promoting and Therapeutic Properties of Natural Flavanone Eriodictyol.

Eriodictyol is a flavanone compound commonly found in several edible plants. Ultrasound-assisted extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are commonly used methods for the separation and analysis of eriodictyol. Many studies show that some micro-organisms can produce eriodictyol as a host.

Red Rice Seed Coat Targeting SPHK2 Ameliorated Alcoholic Liver Disease via Restored Intestinal Barrier and Improved Gut Microbiota in Mice.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD), leading to the most common chronic liver diseases, is increasingly emerging as a global health problem, which is intensifying the need to develop novel treatments. Herein, our work aimed to estimate the therapeutic efficacy of red rice ( L.) seed coat on ALD and further uncover the underlying mechanisms.

L. Indica Seed Coat Ameliorated Concanavalin A-Induced Acute Hepatitis in Mice via MDM2/p53 and PKCα/MAPK1 Signaling Pathways.

Acute hepatitis (AH) is a common liver disease with an increasing number of patients each year, requiring the development of new treatments. Hence, our work aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of L. indica (purple rice) seed coat on concanavalin A (ConA)-induced AH and further reveal its potential mechanisms.
