Research progress on the protective mechanism of resveratrol on alcoholic liver disease / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

The causes of more than 200 diseases are related to alcoholism, which can cause diseases in all systems of the body. As the place of alcohol absorption and metabolism, the damage of gastrointestinal tract and liver caused by excessive drinking can not be ignored. Alcohol can produce strong hepatotoxicity, resulting in intestinal microbial disorders. Resveratrol is a kind of natural polyphenols which widely exist in grapes, peanuts, nuts and other foods. It has many functions that are beneficial to human health, such as liver protection. Therefore, we reviewed the mechanism of the protective effect of resveratrol on alcoholic liver disease and proposed that intestinal microorganisms could be a potential research target for resveratrol in the prevention of alcoholic liver disease.
