Abstract: Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Cistanche deserticola(C. deserticola) has a protective effect on the liver, but its active fraction and mechanism are not clear. In order to identify the effective fraction of C. deserticola Y. C. Ma, an acute alcoholic liver injury model in mice was established with 56-proof Erguotou and different fractional extracts of C. deserticola Y. C. Ma(total glycosides, polysaccharides, and oligosaccharides) were administered. After 14 days of oral administration, liver pathology and lipid deposition were measured and the expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor(Nrf-2), kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1(Keap-1), and plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein-1(PV1) were measured by immunofluorescence. The levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), endotoxin(ET), diamine oxidase(DAO),and D-lactic acid(D-LA) in serum, and superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), catalase(CAT), and malondialdehyde(MDA) in liver were measured by ELISA. All animal experiments were carried out with approval of the Experimental Animal Welfare Ethics Committee of the Peking University Health Science Center. The results show that the total glycosides of C. deserticola Y. C. Ma(400 mg·kg-1) could decrease liver pathology, decrease serum endotoxin, diamine oxidase, and D-lactic acid, and reduce hepatic lipid deposition. Total glycosides also promoted Nrf-2 transfer into the nucleus and decreased the expression of Keap-1 and PV1. In summary, the total glycosides of C. deserticola Y. C. Ma had a protective effect in acute alcoholic liver injury and the mechanism may be related to the activation of the Nrf-2/Keap-1 pathway, improvement of intestinal wall integrity, and inhibition of the transport of harmful substances into the liver.
