Research on Alcoholic Liver Disease and Liv-52

Liv.52 enhances the absorption of ethanol and rapidly reduces the acetaldehyde levels, which may explain its hepatoprotective effect on ethanol-induced liver damage8,9. Keeping these facts in mind, a study was undertaken to elucidate the protective effect, if any, of Liv.52 against the harmful effects of maternal alcohol consumption during the gestation period and also to determine the effect of Liv.52 on the acetaldehyde concentrations in the amniotic fluid of fetuses. To read more about this study, visit Protective effect of Liv.52 on alcohol-induced fetotoxicity - Gopumadhavan, S., Jagadeesh, S., Chauhan, B.L. and Kulkarni, R.D., Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research (1993): (17), 5, 1089.

Liv.52 produced a considerable reduction in blood and urine levels of ethanol and acetaldehyde after 12 hours. It is possible that Liv.52 prevents the binding of acetaldehyde, bringing about higher initial blood levels followed by rapid elimination. It reduced the hangover symptoms.

Whisky 120ml consumed by regular alcohol users in 1h, before and following 15 days of Liv.52 treatment produced significantly higher ethanol levels at 2, 3 and 4 h and significantly lower acetaldehyde levels at 3 and 4 h after Liv.52 treatment. Liv52 enhanced the rate of absorption of ethanol and rapidly reduced acetaldehyde levels, which may explain its hepatoprotective effect on ethanol-induced liver damage.To read more about this study, visit Effect of Liv.52, a herbal preparation, on absorption and metabolism of ethanol in humans - Chauhan, B.L. and Kulkarni, R.D., European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology (1991): 40, 189.

Significantly higher ethanol levels were observed after ingestion of Rum and ethanol levels were lowest with Beer. Acetaldehyde levels correlated well with ethanol levels on day 0. Irrespective of type of alcoholic beverage consumed, Liv.52 treatment for 15 days significantly reduced blood acetaldehyde and increased urinary excretion four fold. The possibility of destabilisation of acetaldehyde protein adducts in liver with Liv.52 treatment could be the probable mechanism in reducing the blood acetaldehyde levels in moderate alcohol users.
