The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, played an essential role in filtering blood from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body.
The organ also produced cholesterol, a waxy substance that is needed to aid digestion and build strong cell membranes, production of steroid hormones and vitamins.
Liver injury may be a result caused by physical impact or penetrating trauma. In some cases, liver injury can also be induced by toxicity, leading to acute liver injury.
Liver injury can be mild or severe. In a mild case, liver injury can recover itself. However, in severe cases, surgery to stop the bleeding and remove the part of injury may be necessary.
Most cases of liver injury can lead to abdominal pain and tenderness caused by bleeding blood in the abdomen that irritates the abdominal tissue.
The severity of a liver injury can be diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography.
According to the statistics, liver injury has been found to constitute 5% of all traumas, making it the most common abdominal injury.
The most common symptoms associated with liver injury are shocks due to severe bleeding inducing a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin.
In some cases, blood accumulated in the abdomen may irritate the abdominal tissue, leading to symptoms of abdominal pain and swollen and tenderness.
Depending on the degree of injury, patients are either treated with nonoperative management and observation for a full self-recovery or surgery.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, Middle East, and the Mediterranean.
The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered as anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In the urgency to discover a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, researchers examined the effects of withanolides (WA) from Withania somnifera root extract on hepatic toxicity in an animal model
According to the tested analysis, the application of WA profoundly protects wild-type mice but not Nrf2-disrupted mice against APAP hepatotoxicity.
Where Nrf2 is a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins against oxidative damage.
In vivo and in vitro, WA is a potent inducer of Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective enzyme expression.
In other words, WA protects the liver damage against oxidative stress by enhancing the function by the activation of antioxidant enzyme protein independently to a redox-regulated substrate adaptor protein Keap1 and dependently on pathway associated with limit proliferation in cells.
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha processed a high amount of bioactive compound WA may be considered supplements for the prevention of liver toxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
