UC Davis Health researchers have found that a molecule produced by intestinal bacteria can restore damaged liver. Work has been published in MBIO magazine.
We are talking about 10-hydroxxis-12-octadetsenoic acid (10-HSA) produced by bacteria of Lactobacillus. During the experiments on mice, the material completely eliminated the liver and intestinal damage caused by the Afatoxin B1. The intestinal epithelial barrier was restored, the level of the main faucets was normalized, the function of the liver with metabolism and detoxification was improved, and the intestinal immune processes were stabilized.
10-HSA activates PPARA protein, which is responsible for the settlement of fat metabolism, and operates without side effects of synthetic drugs. Scientists hope that this molecule will be used to create a safe supplement for the prevention and treatment of liver injury, especially in regions where there is a high risk of patclxic pollution.
The direct plans of the team include the preparation of clinical trials on people with fatty liver disease or metabolism disorders. The authors emphasize that this discovery can be a step towards creating "microboma medications" that will act as accurately and safely as possible.
