Screening of food components for the prevention of alcoholic liver diseases and their application

研究了不同食物成分对乙醇性肝损伤的保护作用。这项研究的目的是建议在我们的饮食习惯中利用它们来预防疾病。我们利用自己研制的肝炎、肝硬化体外细胞培养模型和肝脏疾病体内动物模型，考察了各种食物成分的保护作用。然后我们得到了以下结果。我们发现，Ecklonia cava提取物、Tamatsukuri-kuromon Shirouri提取物、芝麻木质素和马黛茶提取物对体外和体内模型乙醇性肝损伤具有保护作用，提示摄入这些成分对我们的健康生活有益。

We studied the protection against ethanol-induced liver injury by various food components. The goal of this study is to propose a utilization of them into our dietary habits for the prevention of the disease. We examined the protective effect of various food components by using in vitro cell culture models for hepatitis and for liver cirrhosis and an in vivo animal model for liver disease, which were developed by us. Then we got the following results. We found that Ecklonia cava extract, extract from Tamatsukuri-kuromon Shirouri, sesame lignin and Mate tea extract have the protective effects for ethanol-induced liver injury on our in vitro and in vivo models and suggested that the ingestion of these components is useful for our healthy life.
