Abstract
Liver diseases have become one of the significant threats to global health. However, there is a lack of effective targeted therapeutic drugs in this field and the existing drugs used for liver disease treatment usually have side‑effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has the distinctive advantages of multi‑target and low side‑effects. As a flavonoid with various pharmacological activities such as anti‑tumour, anti‑oxidant, anti‑inflammatory and anti‑bacterial, the TCM myricetin has been widely used in liver disease research. The present work focuses on the role and molecular mechanism of myricetin in liver diseases such as acute liver injury, fatty liver, liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is a promising reference for further research and application of myricetin in the treatment of liver diseases.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Medicine Reports is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal available in print and online, that includes studies devoted to molecular medicine, underscoring aspects including pharmacology, pathology, genetics, neurosciences, infectious diseases, molecular cardiology and molecular surgery. In vitro and in vivo studies of experimental model systems pertaining to the mechanisms of a variety of diseases offer researchers the necessary tools and knowledge with which to aid the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases.
