Abstract

Dihydromyricetin (DHM) treatment significantly reduced serum levels of LPS, IL-1β, and TNF-α in mice with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

  • NAFLD was induced in mice using a high-fat diet over 8 weeks.
  • DHM treatment decreased liver expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65.
  • Intestinal flora analysis revealed an increase in beneficial bacteria, particularly in medium and high-dose groups.
  • DHM treatment improved liver pathology by reducing fat deposition and inflammatory cell infiltration.
  • Results suggest that DHM may prevent NAFLD progression by balancing gut microbiota and inhibiting inflammation.
