| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Mulberry water extracts (MWEs), which contain polyphenols including anthocyanins, have been used in traditional Chinese edible food. The hepatoprotective effects and molecular mechanisms of MWEs on acute liver failure induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were investigated in vivo. RESULTS: Rats were administered different doses of MWEs (0.5 and 1 g kg(-1)) 1 h before injection of LPS (5 mg kg(-1)) and then sacrificed 10 h after treatment with LPS. Liver function, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress index and hepatic histopathological alteration were examined in the rats with and without MWE treatment. Pretreatment with MWEs prevented LPS-induced liver damage by preventing associated increases of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), triglycerol (TG), cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein/high-density lipoprotein ratio. MWEs also suppressed oxidative stress to prevent the formation of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA). Furthermore, the molecular mechanism involved in LPS-induced liver injury was associated with reducing the expression of COX-2, NF-κB and iNOS in liver tissues. CONCLUSION: The results support the investigation of MWEs as a therapeutic candidate for liver injuries and indicate that MWEs exhibit hepatoprotective activities via NF-κB signaling. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
