Found a way to protect the liver

Turkish researchers have found that the combination of vitamin E and melatonin can weaken the toxic effect of acetamipride insecticide on the liver. The results of the experiment on laboratory animals were published in the scientific journal Scientific Reports.

In the study, scientists studied the condition of 50 mice. Exposure to the pesticide caused animals to increase the activity of liver enzymes and increase oxidative stress. Tissue analysis also showed inflammatory changes, cell death and fibrous tissue formation.

Additional studies have revealed abnormalities in cellular structures, including mitochondria, as well as activation of cell death mechanisms. The use of vitamin E and melatonin reduced the severity of damage, and the most noticeable results were obtained when using both substances simultaneously.

The authors suggest that the protective effect is associated with the antioxidant properties of the compounds studied. Their joint use contributed to the improvement of biochemical parameters and the preservation of the structure of the liver. The effectiveness of this approach in humans has yet to be established.
