Title:

Licorice flavonoid alleviates gastric ulcers by producing changes in gut microbiota and promoting mucus cell regeneration

 

Objective: 

To assess the use of liquorice flavonoids to promote human gastric mucosal epithelial cells and surpassed inflammation. 

 

Results: 

This study found that  liquorice regulated gut microbiota, promoted the production of SCFAs, and increased gastric mucus secretion and mucin expression.

 

Conclusion:

Licorice exerts gastroprotective effects by inhibiting inflammation, promoting mucosal barrier repair and angiogenesis, and regulating the gut microbiota and SCFA metabolism.
