AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how fucoidan (FCD) can help reduce liver damage caused by histamine, a compound found in some foods like Huangjiu, which disrupts intestinal balance.
- Results showed that FCD lowered liver injury indicators, reduced oxidative stress and inflammation, and improved liver tissue health by restoring important proteins and decreasing inflammation-related genes.
- Additionally, FCD positively influenced gut health by decreasing harmful bacteria levels and promoting beneficial ones, suggesting its potential as a treatment for histamine-induced liver issues and gut regulation.
Article Abstract
Histamine, a bioactive component in certain foods such as Huangjiu has been associated with liver injury and disrupted intestinal balance. This study explored the potential therapeutic effects of fucoidan (FCD) in mitigating histamine-induced imbalances in mice. We found that FCD mitigated liver injury, reducing transaminases, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Histological improvements included decreased cell infiltration and necrosis. FCD restored tight junction proteins and suppressed inflammation-related genes. Western blot analysis revealed FCD's impact on TGF-1, -AKT, AKT, CYP2E1, Grp78, NLRP3, Cas-1, and GSDMD. Gut LPS levels decreased with FCD. Gut microbiota analysis showed FCD's modulation effect, reducing Firmicutes and increasing Bacteroides. FCD demonstrates potential in alleviating histamine-induced liver injury, regulating inflammation, and influencing gut microbiota. Further research exploring higher dosages and additional parameters is warranted.
