Developing natural marine products for treating liver diseases

摘要

In recent years,marine-derived bioactive compounds have gained increasing attention because of their higher biodiversity vs land-derived compounds.A number of marine-derived compounds are proven to improve lipid metabolism,modulate the gut microbiota,and possess anti-inflammatory,antioxidant,antibacterial,antiviral,and antitumor activities.With the increasing understanding of the molecular landscape underlying the pathogenesis of chronic liver diseases,interest has spiked in developing new therapeutic drugs and medicine food homology from marine sources for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases.
