Protective effects of YCHD on the autoimmune hepatitis mice model induced by Ad-CYP2D6 through modulating the Th1/Treg ratio and intestinal flora.

Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver inflammatory disease mediated by autoimmune reactions, the pathogenesis of AIH is probably related to the imbalance of intestinal flora. Yinchenhao decoction (YCHD) has been used to relieve AIH. However, the mechanisms underpinning YCHD's hepatoprotective effects with the gut microbito have not been fully revealed.

Protective effect of quercetin against macrophage-mediated hepatocyte injury via anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis and inhibition of ferroptosis.

Yinchenhao Decoction (YCHD) is a classic prescription in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It appears to play an important role in anti-inflammation and autoimmunity protection. As one of the key active ingredients in YCHD, quercetin is a novel anti-inflammatory metabolite that exerts protective effects in many autoimmune diseases.
