2-Dodecyl-6-methoxycyclohexa-2,5-dien-1,4-dione alleviates liver fibrosis and improves intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism by Yongfei He, Thi Thai Hoa Pham, Junming Xu, Shengjie Hong, Jicai Wang, Hang Zhai, Qiang Tao, Ruixi Li, Guangquan Zhang, Xianjie Shi

“…HE staining, Masson staining, and Sirius staining were used to evaluate the effect of DMDD on liver fibrosis. The Illumina sequencing platform was used to detect intestinal flora and liver transcriptome information in mouse feces, and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) technology was used to detect bile acid content changes in mouse feces.ResultsThe results show that DMDD can mitigate liver fibrosis-induced damage in mice, potentially through the suppression of the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway. …”
