Acute alcohol intoxication could cause multiorgan damage, including nervous, digestive, and cardiovascular systems, and in particular, irreversible damage to the brain and liver. Emerging studies have revealed that the endogenous multienzymatic antioxidant defense system (MEAODS) plays a central role in preventing oxidative stress and other toxicological compounds produced by alcohol. However, few available drugs could quickly regulate MEAODS.

Metabolic processes in living organisms depend on the synergistic actions of enzymes working in proximity and in concert, catalyzing reactions effectively while regulating the formation of metabolites. This enzyme synergy offers promising therapeutic application for diseases such as alcohol intoxication, cancer, and hyperinflammation. Despite their potential, the clinical translation of enzyme cascades is restricted by challenges including poor enzyme stability, short half-life, and a lack of delivery strategies that maintain enzyme proximity.

Background: Chronic constipation is a gastrointestinal functional disorder which affects patient quality of life. Therefore, many studies were oriented to search herbal laxative agents. In this study, we investigated the phytochemical composition of beetroot juice (BJ) and its laxative potential in an experimental model of constipation and colonic dysmotility induced by loperamide (LOP) in Wistar rats.
