Kombucha tea (KT) is sugared black tea fermented with a symbiotic culture of acetic acid bacteria and yeasts, which is said to be tea fungus. KT is claimed to have various beneficial effects on human health, but there is very little scientific evidence available in the literature. In the present study, KT along with black tea (BT) and black tea manufactured with tea fungus enzymes (enzyme-processed tea, ET) was evaluated for hepatoprotective and curative properties against CCl4-induced toxicity…

Edible Solanum trilobatum chloroform extract modulates CCL4 induced toxic changes in rat liver by enhancing the antioxidant activity
- Biology
- 2021
H hepatoprotective and antioxidant activity of the polyphenol rich chloroform extract of Solanum trilobatum was evaluated on CCl4 induced acute hepatotoxicity in Sprague Dawley rats and clearly demonstrates that CST contains therapeutic components which in combination/alone possess hepatoprotsective and in vivo antioxidant effect.

The results suggest that green tea might suppress LPS + GalN-induced liver injury mainly through the inhibition of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis of hepatocytes, rather than through the suppression of T NF-alpha production, although the suppressed production of TTF-alpha may be associated with the hepatoprotective effect of caffeine.
