However, the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of GBE50 on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remain unknown. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of GBE50 in NAFLD by using a high-fat diet (HFD) mice model.Methods: C57BL/6J mice were fed a HFD diet for 15 weeks and were given respectively 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg GBE50 daily by gavage from 3 to 15 weeks. After the administration, blood samples and liver tissues were collected for biochemical detection, histological measurement, immunohistochemistry and Western blot, respectively.Results: We found that GBE50 treatment could ameliorate insulin resistance (IR), glucose intolerance, lipid accumulation, hepatic steatosis and liver injury in HFD-fed mice. Further mechanism exploration discovered that the hepatoprotective effects of GBE50 on NAFLD may be related to the strengthening of IRS-1 signal activation and the weakening of NF-κB, Akt and endoplasmic reticulum stress signals activation.Conclusion: GBE50 is a potentially powerful therapeutic agent for the treatment of NAFLD.Keywords: Ginkgo biloba extract 50, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, inflammatory response, liver injuryLi LYang LYang FZhao XLXue SJGong FHDove Medical Pressarticleginkgo biloba extract 50non-alcoholic fatty liver diseaseinsulin resistancehepatic steatosisinflammatory responseliver injuryPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
