Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how high H2-generating dietary fibers like pectin and resistant starch could reduce liver damage from oxidative stress caused by ischaemia-reperfusion injury in rats.
  • Rats on a control diet showed increased liver enzyme levels and oxidative stress markers after injury, while those fed pectin or high-amylose starch had decreased enzyme levels and improved oxidative stress markers.
  • The results suggest that dietary fibers not only boost hydrogen production in the gut but also have protective effects against liver injury, highlighting their potential health benefits.
