Found an unexpected remedy against liver obesity

Berberine, a natural compound found in a number of medicinal plants, may help fight fatty liver disease. This conclusion was reached by specialists of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, who studied the results of previous studies. Their review was published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.

The researchers reviewed scientific papers on the effects of berberine on metabolic disorders and liver health. It turned out that the compound can affect several mechanisms of the disease: improve the processing of fats and glucose, increase tissue susceptibility to insulin and weaken inflammatory reactions.

Additional protective effect can be provided due to the effect of berberine on the intestinal microflora. The substance is able to change the ratio of intestinal microorganisms and maintain the integrity of the mucous barrier, preventing the development of inflammation. Scientists also note its potential ability to reduce oxidative stress that damages liver cells.

The results of individual clinical trials indicate a possible reduction in fat deposits in the liver and an improvement in metabolic parameters when taking berberine. However, experts emphasize that the compound has low bioavailability, and its action depends on the individual characteristics of the body. More research is needed to confirm effectiveness and determine optimal applications.
