Abstract
Lonicerae japonicae (L. japonicae) flos is a medical and food homology herb. This study investigated the phenolic acid and flavonoid contents in L. japonicae flos water extract solution (LJWES) and the preventive effects of LJWES against liver fibrogenesis via FL83B cells and rats. LJWES contains many polyphenols, such as chlorogenic acid, morin, and epicatechin. LJWES increased cell viability and decreased cytotoxicity in thioacetamide (TAA)-treated FL83B cells (75 mM) (p < .05). LJWES decreased (p < .05) gene expressions of Tnf-α, Tnfr1, Bax, and cytochrome c but upregulated Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl in TAA-treated cells; meanwhile, increased protein levels of P53, cleaved caspase 3, and cleaved caspase 9 in TAA treated cells were downregulated (p < .05) by LJWES supplementation. In vivo, results indicated that TAA treatment increased serum liver damage indices (alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and alkaline phosphatase [ALP]) and cytokines (interleukin-6 and transforming growth factor-β1) levels and impaired liver antioxidant capacities (increased thiobarbituric acid reactive substance value but decreased catalase/glutathione peroxidase activities) in rats (p < .05) while LJWES supplementation amended (p < .05) them. Liver fibrosis scores, collagen deposition, and alpha-smooth muscle actin deposition in TAA-treated rats were also decreased by LJWES supplementation (p < .05). To sum up, LJWES could be a potential hepatoprotective agent against liver fibrogenesis by enhancing antioxidant ability, downregulating inflammation in livers, and reducing apoptosis in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Tons of broiler livers are produced yearly in Taiwan but always considered waste. Our team has successfully patented and characterized a chicken-liver hydrolysate (CLH) with several biofunctions. Chronic alcohol consumption causes hepatosteatosis or even hepatitis, cirrhosis, and cancers. This study was to investigate the hepatoprotection of CLH-based supplement (GBHP01™) against chronic alcohol consumption. Results showed that GBHP01™ could reduce (p < .05) enlarged liver size, lipid accumulation/steatosis scores, and higher serum AST, ALT, γ-GT, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels induced by an alcoholic liquid diet. GBHP01™ reduced liver inflammation and apoptosis in alcoholic liquid-diet-fed mice via decreasing TBARS, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α levels, increasing reduced GSH/TEAC levels and activities of SOD, CAT and GPx, as well as downregulating CYP2E1, BAX/BCL2, Cleaved CASPASE-9/Total CASPASE-9 and Active CASPASE-3/Pro-CASPASE-3 (p < .05). Furthermore, GBHP01™ elevated hepatic alcohol metabolism (ADH and ALDH activities) (p < .05). In conclusion, this study prove the hepatoprotection of GBHP01™ against alcohol consumption.

Abstract
In 2006, the European Commission banned the use of antibiotic promoters in animal feed. However, there is a new situation in poultry disease where it is necessary to study feed additives, which can overcome the diseases that were previously controlled through the addition of antibiotics and antimicrobial growth promoters in the feed. Therefore, trehalose was investigated to determine whether it impacts the growth performance and pathogenic bacteria (C. jejuni and C. perfringens) inoculation in broilers. In the first experiment, the tolerance of broilers to the addition of trehalose to their feed was investigated. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in body weight changes, daily weight gain, feed intake or feed conversion ratio during the feeding period. Within a 35-day feeding period, it was concluded that a trehalose dosage up to 10% does not exert a negative effect on broiler farming. Moreover, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) in the broilers' growth performance, as well as C. jejuni and C. perfringens counts in the intestines and feces of broilers observed over a 5-week feeding period. However, Lactobacillus counts significantly increased in these groups with 3% and 5% trehalose supplementation. The findings indicate that trehalose supplementation in the feed cannot directly decrease C. jejuni and C. perfringens counts but may enhance gut health by raising Lactobacillus counts in chicken gut, particularly when enteropathogenic bacteria are present.

Abstract
The optimal conditions for simultaneous determination of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and European Union (EU) priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in coffee beans and coffee brews were developed. The QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) technology combined with high performance liquid chromatography - temperature-controlled fluorescence detection and gas chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry were used in the investigation. PAHs could be determined in commercially available green coffee beans (possibly caused by environmental contamination), and their PAHs content increased with the degree of roasting. Coffee beans brewed with the coffee machine released more PAHs into their brews than those brewed with the drip bag. The PAHs consumption risk of the brewed coffee samples was not high due to their low PAH level. Nevertheless, the methods of roasting and brewing and the amount of drinking could still be considered to reduce the intake of PAHs.

Abstract
This study offered a possible systematic culinary approach to spent-laying ducks. Breast meat is suitable for processing due to its amount and completeness. Sous-vide cooking resulted in lower cooking loss than poaching, pan-frying (P < 0.05), and roasting. The sous-vide duck breast had higher gumminess, chewiness, and resilience than other culinary techniques (P < 0.05). Sous-vide cooking at 65°C had a lower cooking loss than 70°C (P < 0.05), and less than 1.5-h sous-vide could keep a lower cooking loss and WB shear value (P < 0.05) as the cooking period extended, the smaller (P < 0.05) quantity of myosin heavy chain and the destroyed sarcomere arrangement were observed. A condition at 65°C for 1.5 h could be the optimal sous-vide cuisine for spent-laying duck breast. These sous-vide products stored at 4°C were still safe for consumption due to no detectible microorganisms and unchangeable physicochemical properties within 7 d.

Abstract
Chicken-liver hydrolysates (CLHs) have been characterized as performing several biofunctions by our team. This study aimed to investigate if a CLH-based supplement (GBHP01TM) can ameliorate liver fibrogenesis induced by thioacetamide (TAA) treatment. Our results showed that the TAA treatment caused lower body weight gains and enlarged livers, as well as higher serum ALT, AST, and ALP levels (p < 0.05). This liver inflammatory and fibrotic evidence was ameliorated (p < 0.05) by supplementing with GBHP01TM; this partially resulted from its antioxidant abilities, including decreased TBARS values but increased TEAC levels, reduced GSH contents and catalase/GPx activities in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Additionally, fewer nodules were observed in the appearance of the livers of TAA-treated rats after supplementing with GBHP01TM. Similarly, supplementing GBHP01TM decreased fibrotic scars and the fibrotic score in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Moreover, the increased hepatic IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α levels after TAA treatment were also alleviated by supplementing with GBHP01TM (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, GBHP01TM could decrease the ratio of LC3B II/LC3B I, but upregulated P62 and Rab7 in the livers of TAA-treated rats (p < 0.05). Taking these results together, the CLH-based supplement (GBHP01TM) can be characterized as a natural agent against liver fibrogenesis.

Abstract
It was reported that protein hydrolysates or derived peptides have more functionalities than their parent protein. Most functional protein hydrolysates or peptides are identified from various food products, including plant, fish, and land-animal protein sources. Within a few decades, the application of food protein-origin functional hydrolysates or peptides could be divided into two main categories according to their applied intentions: 1) preservatives and bioactive packing materials; 2) nutraceutical ingredients. According to the literature, the applications of food protein-origin functional hydrolysates or peptides on food preservative and nutraceutical ingredients have attracted much attention. However, the approach method should be changed. Multi-activities, compound formulation, comprehensive evaluation, and the added value of by-products are possible strategies. Although there have been great results and findings in the functionalities of food protein-origin bioactive hydrolysates or peptides, there is still a big gap between the lab-scale results and practical applications. Via this narrative review on the current research, scientists, the food/health industry, and government authorities should cooperate to dig into the new material sources and the possible practical application.

Abstract
As part of the slaughtering processing in Taiwan, approximately 10,000 metric tons of broiler livers are produced yearly. However, these livers are regarded as waste. Our team has successfully developed a functional chicken-liver hydrolysate (CLH) with several useful activities. It has been reported that there is a positive relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and cognitive decline. To maximize broiler-livers' utilization and add value, we investigated the modulative effects of the CLHs on glucose homeostasis and cognitive decline in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic mice. After a 9-wk experiment, CLH supplementation lowered blood glucose by increasing GLUT4 protein expressions in the brains, livers, and muscles of STZ-induced mice (P < 0.05). CLHs also enhanced antioxidant capacities in the livers and brains of STZ-induced mice. Amended memory and alternation behavior were tested by using water and Y-maze assays (P < 0.05). Besides, STZ-induced mice with CLH supplementation had less contracted neuron bodies in the hippocampus and lower (P < 0.05) Aβ depositions in the dentate gyrus area. Less AGE accumulation and apoptosis-related proteins (RAGE, JNK, and activated Caspase 3) in the brains of STZ-induced mice were also detected by supplementing CLHs (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the results from this study offer not only scientific evidence on the amelioration of insulin resistance and cognitive decline in hyperglycemia but also add value to this byproduct.

Abstract
The massive wastewater from surimi manufacture and salt addition is controversial. In our previous study, a chicken-surimi (CS) product can be successfully developed from the spent-hen breast via 3 times of washing steps and 2.5% salt addition in the recipe. Due to the characteristics of broiler breast (higher protein contents in muscle), this study was to optimize the washing step for CS batter recovered from broiler breast and the salt-addition level in the CS-product recipe. The step of washing once with 0.1% salt solution showed no (P > 0.05) differences in the texture profile and color parameters (expect a* value) in CS batters compared to initial washing steps (a 3-step washing procedure). The CS batter obtained by this washing step had higher amino-acid contents than boiler breast and large Grade A egg and even fit adults’ daily essential amino-acid requirement. Besides, the lower (P < 0.05) water loss of cooked CS products during the storage (4°C) was shown beyond 2.0% salt addition in CS products. For efficient/ecofriendly extraction and sodium-content reduction, the washing once with a 0.1% salt solution and 2% salt addition in the recipe is recommended in the CS batter recovered from broiler breast and its products, respectively.

Abstract
Approximately 400 metric tons of egg chalazae, a byproduct in the liquid-egg processing plant, are produced yearly but always regarded as a waste in Taiwan. Our team successfully developed a crude egg chalaza hydrolysate by protease-A digestion (CCH-A). Free branched-chain amino acids, 3-aminoisobutyric acid, and β-alanine, and anserine were assayed in the CCH-A used in this study. Besides, the in vitro bile-acid binding ability and inhibitory lipase activity of CCH-As were demonstrated. Then, high-fat diet feeding for 10 wk caused hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, and hepatosteatosis in hamsters (P < 0.05). However, CCH-A co-treatment decreased serum/liver triglyceride levels and lipid accumulation in livers by increasing daily fecal lipid/bile-acid outputs, upregulating fatty-acid β oxidation, and downregulating fatty-acid biosynthesis in livers (P < 0.05). CCH-A co-treatment also amended insulin resistance, augmented hepatic antioxidant capacity, and decreased liver damages and inflammatory responses (P < 0.05). Taken together, our results do not only demonstrate the hepatoprotective effects of CCH-As against a chronic high-fat dietary habit, achieving effects similar to Simvastatin, but also decrease the environmental burden of handling chalazae in the liquid-egg industry.

Abstract
Meat, except marine sources, is a highly nutritious food but generally lacks some healthy ingredients, such as omega-3 fatty acids (ω-3 FA) and dietary fiber. However, ω-3 FA and dietary fiber could be incorporated during the manufacture of surimi-like products. In our previous study, chicken surimi was successfully developed from spent-hen breast. Although there was no (P > 0.05) difference in water-holding capacity between wheat fiber and carrageenan, an increased (P < 0.05) flaxseed oil–holding capacity was observed in wheat fiber samples. Furthermore, an addition of 5% wheat fiber resulted in optimal emulsification capacity and less cooking loss at 4°C for 14 d and at −20°C for 60 d (P < 0.05). Because of the lower (P < 0.05) purge and centrifugation losses, thiol group content, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance value than those formulated with more flaxseed oil, 12% flaxseed oil was an optimal level in chicken surimi with 5% wheat fiber. Scanning electron microscopy results also showed better emulsification of surimi batters with wheat fiber compared with those without wheat fiber, and meanwhile, the formulation with 5% wheat fiber could hold up to 12% flaxseed oil as well. To enhance flaxseed-oil addition, semi-manufactured chicken surimi batter was successfully fortified with a combination of 12% flaxseed oil and 5% wheat fiber. This surimi-like product with dietary fiber and ω-3 FA would fit the need in the current market regarding consumers' demands for high nutritional value and improved processing characteristics.

Abstract
Salmonellosis in broilers is not merely a significant disease with high economic costs in the poultry industry but also the foodborne disease with the impact on public health by cross-contamination. This study was to investigate the prebiotic ability of trehalose supplementing in diets (0, 1, 3, and 5%, w/w) against Salmonella by using S. Typhimurium (ST)-inoculated broilers. The improvements (P < 0.05) of feed conversion ratio (FCR) were observed with 5% trehalose supplementation in ST-inoculated broilers' diets. An addition of 3 or 5% trehalose in diets increased (P < 0.05) the abundance of lactobacilli in the duodenum and jejunum but decreased (P < 0.05) the growth of ST in the cecum. The adverse effects on serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, triglyceride, and albumin and globulin ratio in ST-inoculated broilers were noticed and counteracted by supplementing 3 or 5% trehalose in diets (P < 0.05). Besides, the inclusion of trehalose in diets alleviated the intestinal damages and maintained the integrity of cecal epithelial cells after ST challenge under an haematoxylin and eosin-staining observation. Supplementing trehalose further showed the inhibitions of toll-like receptor 4-mediated nuclear factor-kappa-B pathway, including the downregulation (P < 0.05) of proinflammatory cytokine genes, such as interleukin 1 beta and lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor and the upregulation (P < 0.05) of interleukin 10 and interferon-alpha in ST-inoculated broilers. Overall, supplementing trehalose alleviated the adverse effects from ST challenge on FCR, serum biochemistry, the damage, and inflammation in the liver and cecum. Those improvements on ST challenged broilers also contributed to the overgrowth of lactobacilli, the decrement of ST, and anti-inflammatory effects in affected broilers. Trehalose, therefore, could be a promising prebiotic against salmonellosis to benefit broiler production and promote food safety in the poultry industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An imbalanced fat or excess energy intake always results in obesity and increased serum/liver lipids, thus leading to metabolic syndromes. Given the bioactive components in black vinegar (BV), such as branched amino acids, phenolic profile, and mineral contents, we investigated the antiobesity effects of BV-based supplements in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). RESULTS HFD (30% fat, w/w) feeding increased (P < 0.05) body weight, weight gains, weights of livers and mesenteric, epididymal, and perirenal adipose tissues, and serum/liver triglyceride levels relative to those of rats fed a normal diet (4% fat, w/w; CON). These increased values were ameliorated (P < 0.05) by supplementing with BV-based supplements but were still higher (P < 0.05) than those of CON rats. The increased areas of perirenal adipocytes in rats fed with an HFD were also decreased (P < 0.05) by supplementing with BV-based supplements, which might result from an upregulation (P < 0.05) of 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT1), and uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) in the perirenal adipose tissues. A similar effect was observed for AMPK, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, retinoid X receptor alpha, CPT1, and UCP2 gene and protein levels in livers (P < 0.05). Generally, BV-based supplements increased the fecal triglyceride, cholesterol, and bile acid levels of rats fed with an HFD, which partially contribute to the lipid-lowering effects. Furthermore, BV-based supplements increased (P < 0.05) hepatic Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity and lowered (P < 0.05) serum/liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values in HFD-fed rats. CONCLUSION In a chronic high-fat dietary habit, the food-grade BV-based supplement is a good daily choice to ameliorate obesity and its associated comorbidities. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) is an integrative problem related to chronic malnutrition, obesity, etc. Amino acids and peptides are regarded as protective and essential for tissues. Pepsin-digested chicken liver hydrolysates (CLHs), which are made from the byproducts of the poultry industry, are amino-acid based and of animal origin, and may be protective against the myocardial and renal damage induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). RESULTS Our results showed that CLHs contain large quantities of anserine, taurine, and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and supplementing the diet with CLHs reduced (P < 0.05) weight gain, liver weight, peri-renal fat mass / adipocyte-area sizes, serum total cholesterol (TC), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) levels in HFD-fed mice but increased (P < 0.05) serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) levels. By histological analyses, CLHs alleviated (P < 0.05) renal lipid deposition and fibrosis, as well as cardiac fibrosis and inflammation of HFD-fed mice. Meanwhile, increased (P < 0.05) inflammatory and fibrotic cytokines levels in the myocardia of the HFD-fed mice were downregulated (P < 0.05) by CLH supplementation. Regarding autophagy-related protein levels, protective effects of CLHs on the myocardia against HFD feeding may result from the early blockade of the autophagy pathway to prevent autophagosome accumulation. CONCLUSION Functional CLHs could be a novel food ingredient as a cardio-renal protective agent against a high-fat dietary habit in a niche market. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Our patented protease A–digested crude chalaza hydrolysates (CCH) show antioxidant abilities in vitro. The prophylactic effects of CCH on cognitive dysfunction and brain oxidative damages were investigated via a D-galactose (DG)–injected mouse model in this study. Fifty-four mice were randomly divided into the following: (1) CON, 0.1 mL 0.9% saline (subcutaneous injection [SC] on the back)+distilled water (oral gavage); (2) DG, 100 mg/kg BW/day D-galactose (Bio-Serv Co., Flemington, NJ, USA) (SC on the back)+distilled water (oral gavage); (3) DG_LCH, 100 mg/kg BW/day D-galactose (SC on the back) + 50 mg CCH/kg BW/day in 0.1 ml distilled water (oral gavage); (4) DG_MCH, 100 mg/kg BW/day D-galactose (SC on the back) + 100 mg CCH/kg BW/day (oral gavage); (5) DG_HCH, 100 mg/kg BW/day D-galactose (SC on the back) + 200 mg CCH/kg BW/day (oral gavage); (6) DG_AG, 100 mg/kg BW/day D-galactose (SC on the back) + 100 mg aminoguanidine hydrochloride/kg BW/day (oral gavage). The experiment lasted for 84 D. CCH, containing antioxidant-free amino acids and anserine, restored (P < 0.05) DG-injected memory injury in the Morris water maze test and attenuated the neuronal degenerations and nucleus shrinkages in the dentate gyrus area. CCH supplementation also reduced amyloid β-peptide protein levels and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) in the brain of DG-injected mice, whereas the brain antioxidant capacity was reversed (P < 0.05) by supplementing CCH. Furthermore, AGE receptor (RAGE), NFκb, IL-6, and TNF-α gene expressions were downregulated (P < 0.05) by supplementing CCH. Therefore, CCH show prophylactic effects on the development of oxidative stress-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated the important role of kisspeptin in impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In addition, it was reported that the activation of autophagy in pancreatic β-cells decreases insulin secretion by selectively degrading insulin granules. However, it is currently unknown whether kisspeptin suppresses GSIS in β-cells by activating autophagy. To investigate the involvement of autophagy in kisspeptin-regulated insulin secretion, we overexpressed Kiss1 in NIT-1 cells to mimic the long-term exposure of pancreatic β-cells to kisspeptin during type 2 diabetes (T2D). Interestingly, our data showed that although kisspeptin potently decreases the intracellular proinsulin and insulin ((pro)insulin) content and insulin secretion of NIT-1 cells, autophagy inhibition using bafilomycin A1 and Atg5 siRNAs only rescues basal insulin secretion, not kisspeptin-impaired GSIS. We also generated a novel in vivo model to investigate the long-term exposure of kisspeptin by osmotic pump. The in vivo data demonstrated that kisspeptin lowers GSIS and (pro)insulin levels and also activated pancreatic autophagy in mice. Collectively, our data demonstrated that kisspeptin suppresses both GSIS and non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion of pancreatic β-cells, but only non-glucose-stimulated insulin secretion depends on activated autophagic degradation of (pro)insulin. Our study provides novel insights for the development of impaired insulin secretion during T2D progression.

Abstract
The anti-inflammation properties of marine phospholipids enriched with n-3 fatty acids contribute to anti-inflammatory and inflammation-resolving mediators. Functional squid-skin (SQ) liposomes were manufactured from squid-skin phospholipids, and their anti-inflammatory effects were investigated. SQ liposomes included phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and lysophosphatidylcholine (Lyso-PC), and had an approximate diameter of 100 mm. When RAW264.7 cells were treated with the SQ liposome, no (p > 0.05) cytotoxicity was observed below a concentration of 7.5 mg mL-1. An SQ-liposome pretreatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells showed decreased (p < 0.05) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). The engulfment of SQ liposomes by the RAW264.7 cells resulted in lower (p < 0.05) LPS-induced intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, an SQ-liposome administration ameliorated (p < 0.05) carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. SQ liposomes may act via apoptotic mimicry to elicit the resolution of inflammation and prevent chronic inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Via an assay using an Amino Acid Analyzer, pepsin-digested chicken liver hydrolysates (CLHs) contain taurine (365.57 ± 39.04 mg/100 g), carnosine (14.03 ± 1.98 mg/100 g), and anserine (151.58 ± 27.82 mg/100 g). This study aimed to evaluate whether CLHs could alleviate thioacetamide (TAA)-induced fibrosis. A dose of 100 mg TAA/kg BW significantly increased serum liver damage indices and liver cytokine contents. Cell infiltration and monocytes/macrophages in livers of TAA-treated rats were illustrated by the H&E staining and immunohistochemical analysis of cluster of differentiation 68 (CD68, ED1), respectively. A significantly increased hepatic collagen accumulation was also observed and quantified under TAA treatment. A significant up-regulation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and SMAD family member 4 (SMAD4) caused by TAA treatment further enhanced alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) gene and protein expressions. The liver antioxidant effects under TAA treatment were significantly amended by 200 and 600 mg CLHs/kg BW. Hence, the ameliorative effects of CLHs on liver fibrogenesis could be attributed by antioxidation and anti-inflmmation.

Abstract
Thioacetamide (TAA), usually used as a fungicide to control the decay of citrus products, itself is not toxic to the liver, but its intermediates are able to increase oxidative stress in livers and further cause fibrosis. Ophiocordyceps sinensis mycelium (OSM) which contains 10% polysaccharides and 0.25% adenosine decreased (P < 0.05) the lipid accumulation and increased (P < 0.05) antioxidative capacity in livers of thioacetamide (TAA) injected rats. Meanwhile, the increased (P < 0.05) liver sizes, serum alanine transaminase (AST) and aspartate transaminase (ALT) values in thioacetamide (TAA)-injected rats were ameliorated (P < 0.05) by OSM supplementation. Moreover, the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, such as the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), were also reduced (P < 0.05). The fibrosis phenomena in pathological (Masson's trichrome and H&E stainings) and immunohistochemical [α-smooth actin (αSMA) and CD86/ED1] observations in TAA-treated rats were reduced (P < 0.05) by OSM cotreatment. The protective effect of OSM against TAA-induced liver inflammation/fibrosis may be via downregulations (P < 0.05) of TGF-β pathways and NFκB which further influenced (P < 0.05) the expressions of fibrotic and inflammatory genes (i. e., αSMA, Col1α, COX2). Therefore, OSM shows preventive effects on the development of TAA-induced hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Antrodia camphorata is a functional fungus in Taiwan and owns several pharmacological functions. Antrosterol, a bioactive constitute of sterols in edible Antrodia camphorata submerged whole broth, can protect liver from CCl4 damage via enhancing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotection of antrosterol (named as EK100) against alcohol consumption. MATERIALS AND METHODS A Lieber-DeCarli regular EtOH diet (EtOH liquid diet, 5% (v/v) alcohol) was applied to induce alcoholic liver damage. Mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: (1) Control: control liquid diet; (2) EtOH: EtOH liquid diet; (3) EK100_1X: EtOH liquid diet and 1mg EK100 (Antrosterol)/Kg body weight (bw); (4) EK100_5X: EtOH liquid diet and 5mg EK100/Kg bw; (5) EK100_10X: EtOH liquid diet and 10mg EK100/Kg bw. At the end of experiment, the livers were collected for histo-pathological analyses, RNA and protein extraction, and enzymatic activities. RESULTS Antrosterol reduced serum/liver lipids of alcohol-diet fed mice which highly related to upregulated fatty acid β-oxidation and downregulated lipogenesis, and increased fecal lipid/bile-acid outputs. Antrosterol enhanced hepatic antioxidant capabilities in alcohol-diet fed mice while it also lowered serum alcohol level, as well as increased alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and catalase (CAT) activities and decreased CYP2E1 protein expression in livers of alcohol-diet fed mice. Besides, antrosterol lowered hepatic inflammation and fibrosis related gene expressions, as well as serum AST/ALT values and TNF-α/IL-1β contents in alcohol-diet fed mice. CONCLUSION Based on the results, hepatoprotection of antrosterol is mostly attributed to its regulations of lipid homeostasis, antioxidant capability, alcohol metabolism, and anti-inflammation.
