This study found that turmeric extract can enhance the activity of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes in the liver, regulate oxidative stress and inflammation, and increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes. These results suggest a potential beneficial effect of turmeric extract against acute liver toxicity.
Hepatic alcohol clearance is a key factor to overcome alcohol hangovers, and over the period, alcohol hangovers may lead to inflammation and oxidative stress. Natural food products with high antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects might contribute to hepatic alcohol clearance, a hypothesis in this study. The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of turmeric (Curcuma longa L., Zingiberaceae) is an herbal product having antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, on alcohol metabolism using binge alcohol drinking rat model. In vivo investigations revealed that pretreatment with turmeric extract enhanced alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activities upon binge ethanol (3 g/kg). Additionally, pretreatment with turmeric extract regulated CYP2E1 activity and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), Bax, Bcl-2, and inflammatory mediators like IL-1 beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha. Moreover, turmeric extract upregulated superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities in liver tissues. Together, these observations shed light on the potential beneficial effects of turmeric extract against acute liver toxicity. The results offer an alternative natural functional food product, turmeric extract, to prevent the negative implications of binge drinking.
