감국 발효 열수 추출물의 에탄올에 의해 손상된 HepG2 세포의 간보호 효과

초록

This study aimed to identify the hepatoprotective effects of a fermented Chrysanthemum indicum L. water extract. The extraction yield, antioxidant activities (ABTS and DPPH), and content of luteolin and luteolin-7-glucoside were significantly higher in the fermented C. indicum L. water extract (FCI) than in the C. indicum L. water extract. Treatment with FCI (200 μg/mL) significantly reduced the activities of gamma(γ)-glutamyl transferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and lactate dehydrogenase in HepG2 cells treated with 3% ethanol. Furthermore, FCI did not affect the viability of the HepG2 cells. These results suggest that FCI can be useful for the development of an effective hepatoprotective agent.
