Aims: To evaluate the prevalence, clinico-epidemiological characteristics, and expression profiles of inflammatory cytokines or cytokine regulatory factors of NG in asymptomatic adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted prospectively using 2,579 consecutive asymptomatic subjects who underwent screening esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
Article Synopsis
- Improvement of liver function is a key health claim for functional foods in Asia, particularly in Korea, with researchers investigating traditional wild vegetables for their benefits.
- Youngia denticulata Kitam. shows strong protection for liver cells, countering oxidative stress caused by harmful compounds, specifically in human liver cells (HepG2).
- The active compounds in Y. denticulata, like chlorogenic acid and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, are identified as key ingredients that could standardize its use as a potential functional food for liver health.
