Chrysanthemum extract attenuates hepatotoxicity via inhibiting oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro

Background: ‘Bianliang ziyu’, a famous chrysanthemum variety commonly planted in Kaifeng, China, is often consumed by local residents. However, the hepatoprotective effects of Bianliang ziyu and their underlying mechanisms are not clear. Objective: In this study, we investigated the hepatoprotective and antioxidative effects of Bianliang ziyu extract (BZE) on liver injury and explored its molecular mechanisms. Design: Sprague-Dawley rats were administered BZE by intragastric administration for...
