Background/Aim: Stronger Neo‐Minophagen C™ (SNMC), a glycyrrhizin‐containing preparation, has been used as a treatment for chronic hepatitis for more than 30 years in Japan, and shown to be effective in preventing the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in chronic hepatitis C patients, but its underlying mechanisms remain elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate if SNMC had an anti‐oxidative effect, as oxidative stress has been proposed to be one of the mechanisms of liver injury in hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐associated chronic liver diseases.
