Abstract: | The effects of the oral administration of trans-ferulic acid and gamma-oryzanol (mixture of steryl ferulates) with ethanol (5.0 g per kg) for 30 days to c57BL mice on ethanol-induced liver injury were investigated. Preventions of ethanol-induced liver injury by trans-ferulic acid and gamma-oryzanol were reflected by markedly decreased serum activities of plasma aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and significant decreases in hepatic lipid hydroperoxide and TBARS levels. Furthermore, the trans-ferulic acid- and gamma-oryzanol-treated mice recovered ethanol-induced decrease in hepatic glutathione level together with enhancing superoxide dismutase activity. These results demonstrate that both trans-ferulic acid and gamma-oryzanol exert a protective action on liver injury induced by chronic ethanol ingestion. |
