Sea buckthorn (), as a homologous species of medicine and food, is widely used by Mongolians and Tibetans for its anti-tumor, antioxidant and liver-protecting properties. In this review, the excellent anti-tumor effect of sea buckthorn was first found through network pharmacology, and its active components such as isorhamnetin, quercetin, gallic acid and protocatechuic acid were found to have significant anti-tumor effects. The research progress and application prospect of sea buckthorn and its active components in anti-tumor types, mechanism of action, liver protection, anti-radiation and toxicology were reviewed, providing theoretical basis for the development of sea buckthorn products in the field of anti-tumor research and clinical application.

Glycyrrhizic acid (GA), one of the major active components derived from licorice root, exerts liver-protecting activity. Its molecular mechanisms of action, however, remain not completely understood. The angiotensin (Ang) converting enzyme (ACE) 2/Ang-(1-7)/Mas axis, regulated by ACE2 through converting Ang II into Ang-(1-7) to activate Mas receptor, counteracts the pro-inflammatory and pro-steatotic effects of the ACE/Ang II/Ang II receptor type 1 (AT1) axis.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by dysregulation of lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, and gut microbiota disorder. Compared to drug interventions, probiotic interventions may have a more enduring effect without producing any side effects. Thus, the potential of probiotics as a therapeutic approach for diabetes and other metabolic disorders has gained increasing attention in recent years.
