Subject: Oat extract can protect against alcohol-induced liver damage
Eating oats may prevent liver damage caused by drinking, according to research published in the journal Nutrition Research. Indian researchers tested the effects of oat extract on mice with alcohol-induced liver damage. First, they pretreated mice with phenolic-enriched ethyl acetate fraction of oats at two levels every day for 12 days. Next, they induced liver damage in the same mice with doses of 50 percent ethanol every 12 hours. Their results showed that pretreatment with oat extract at higher dosages decreased the levels of liver injury.
Key Takeaways:
- Oats, which goes by the scientific name Avena sativa, has been found to be effective in preventing alcohol-induced liver damage.
- A mice model was used in understanding the effects of oats on liver damage but it is stated that the real pathways for this is not well understood.
- The research team first gave oats extracts to mice for 12 days then they induced liver damage on them and then they measured the alcohol-induced liver injury.
"Research has found an association between consumption of oats and lower risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders."
