Abstract:
A large number of data show that the prevalence rate of alcoholic liver injury (ALI) is increasing year by year, and it has become one of the main causes of death due to chronic liver diseases such as liver cancer and liver cirrhosis. Quitting drinking is the main method for the prevention of ALI in modern medicine, and the main treatment methods include Western medicine with antioxidant and anti-fibrotic effects and nutritional support. However, Western medicine tends to have an unsatisfactory treatment effect and can only alleviate initial symptoms, and severe ALI still requires surgical treatment. Studies have shown that the monomers extracted from natural drugs and foods have obvious preventive and therapeutic effects on ALI, with high safety and easy access. Therefore, this article systematically summarizes the main natural drug and food monomers used for the prevention and treatment of ALI and proposes the idea of the combination of drug and food for the prevention and treatment of ALI from the perspective of paying attention to the whole process of health, in order to explore more effective prevention, health care, and treatment methods and provide ideas for research on the prevention and control of ALI.
