Natural gut molecule reverses liver damage and repairs gut lining

Natural gut molecule reverses liver damage and repairs gut lining

UC Davis Health researchers have discovered that a natural molecule made by gut bacteria can reverse liver damage and repair the gut lining after aflatoxin exposure.

Microbial Molecule Shows Promise for Fatty Liver and Gut Repair

A new study from UC Davis Health reveals that a naturally occurring molecule produced by gut bacteria, 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA), can reverse damage caused by aflatoxin exposure—a major environmental trigger of liver injury—while simultaneously repairing the gut lining. This breakthrough could lead to a novel, nontoxic therapeutic option for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition now affecting more than 25% of U.S. adults. …

Microbial Molecule Discovered to Restore Liver and Gut Health, Scientists

In a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize the treatment of chronic liver conditions, researchers at UC Davis Health have uncovered a natural microbial molecule capable of repairing liver damage and restoring gut integrity following exposure to aflatoxin, a notorious environmental toxin. This innovative study paves the way toward a novel, non-toxic therapeutic approach for combating […]

UC Davis scientists find a microbial molecule that restores liver and gut health

UC Davis Health researchers have discovered a natural molecule made by gut bacteria that reversed liver damage and repaired the gut lining caused by toxic exposure to aflatoxin.
