Medicinal Plant Research 2024, Vol.14, No.4, 196-209 http://hortherbpublisher.com/index.php/mpr 203 Figure 3 Effects of loquat extracts on serum markers of C57/BL6 mice fed with alcohol (Adopted from Yan et al., 2023) Image caption: (A) Experimental schematic; (B) average food intake amount; (C) water consumption amount; (D) serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity; (E) serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity; (F) serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level; (G) serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level; (H) serum total cholesterol (TC) level; (I) serum triglyceride (TG) levels. EtOH, ethanol; BW, body weight; columns with different letters indicate significant difference at p < 0.05. The figure shows that loquat extracts significantly reduced the ethanol-induced elevation of ALT and AST levels and improved lipid metabolism disorders, with the effects being more pronounced in the peel extracts. The results reveal the protective role of loquat extracts in alleviating alcohol-induced liver damage and regulating lipid levels, validating their potential application in the prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease (Adapted from Yan et al., 2023)
