Abstract EN
Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is caused by heavy alcohol consumption over a long period.
Acetaldehyde-mediated toxicity, oxidative stress, and imbalance of lipid metabolism are generally considered involved in the initiation of ALD.
There is an increasing requirement for alternative and natural medicine to treat ALD.
Recently, aldose reductase (AR) has been reported to be involved in the development of ALD by affecting inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, and lipid metabolism.
Here, we review the effect of plant-derived AR inhibitors on ALD in rodents.
And we conclude that AR inhibitors of plant origin may enhance antioxidant capacity, inhibit lipid peroxidation and inflammatory cytokines expression, and activate AMP-activated protein kinase thereby subsequently suppressing alcohol-induced lipid synthesis in liver to achieve ALD protection.
This review reveals that natural AR inhibitor may be potential therapeutic agent for ALD.
