Disease: acute liver injury

Development and preliminary mechanistic analysis of compound effervescent hepatoprotective granules

Researchers developed a new health product combining three medicinal plants to protect the liver from injury. The mixture contains effective compounds that reduce liver inflammation, fight harmful oxidative stress, and protect liver cells from damage. Studies in rats showed the product improved liver function and reduced markers of liver damage, suggesting it could be useful for preventing and treating liver injuries caused by drugs, alcohol, or toxins.

Exploring the Mechanisms of Amino Acid and Bioactive Constituent Formation During Fruiting Body Development in Lyophyllum decastes by Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses

This study examined how Lyophyllum decastes mushrooms develop and build up their nutritious compounds. Researchers tracked amino acids and polysaccharides across four growth stages and identified which genes control their production. The mature mushrooms contained the highest levels of beneficial compounds, with amino acids reaching 45,107.39 μg/g and polysaccharides at 13.66 mg/g. These findings help explain why these mushrooms are nutritious and suggest ways to grow them better for maximum health benefits.
