Used for constipation medicine 'Telephage' helps relieve hangovers and prevent liver damage

Oct 17, 2024

It has been confirmed that the car electronic skin (seed of vagina), which is used as a constipation medicine, is also effective in preventing hangovers and liver damage. It was also found to help improve abnormal behavior patterns that appear during acute alcoholism or hangovers.

A joint research team led by Ryu Dam, a professor of gastroenterology at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Yang Kyung-mo, a clinical lecturer in gastroenterology at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, and Jeong Beom-sun, a professor of anatomy at Yonsei University's Wonju Medical School, recently published a paper on what they discovered through mouse experiments.

Professor Ryu Dam's team used a mouse experimental model to compare the group who took chai and did not take it after consuming a large amount of alcohol. This is a comparison of blood tests, liver biopsy, small intestine biopsy, PCR, and mouse behavior experiments.



Comparison showed that the group who took echocardiogram after consuming a large amount of alcohol had significantly lower blood ALT levels and AST levels representing liver inflammation compared to the group who did not take echocardiogram.

Small intestine biopsy showed little damage to the small intestine of the subelectrophage group, and PCR also confirmed that the expression of alcohol-degrading enzymes in the small intestine was low.



In addition, it was confirmed that the blood acetaldehyde concentration, which plays a decisive role in hangovers, including blood ethanol, was very low in the subelectrope dosing group, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines and alcohol-degrading enzymes in liver tissue was significantly less.

Professor Ryu Dam said, "An animal experiment has shown that chow electronic skin is effective in protecting hangovers and liver damage after drinking alcohol. I hope it will help develop hangover cure or treat liver damage caused by alcohol in the future."."



The paper was introduced in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology' under the title of 'Psyllium fiber implements hangovers and inflammatory liver damage by inhibiting intestinal drinking.
