The study aims to explore the protective effects of Dachaihu decoction (DCHD) against septic liver injury and elucidate its molecular mechanisms.
Evaluated therapeutic effects in a murine model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)
Assessed liver enzymes, histopathology, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines post-DCHD treatment
Analyzed gut microbiota composition using 16S rRNA sequencing and validated signaling pathways via transcriptomic analyses.
DCHD treatment improved liver function and reduced oxidative stress in CLP-induced septic mice
Restored intestinal barrier integrity with reduced permeability and improved gut microbiota composition
Confirmed involvement of the NF-κB/NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway in mediating DCHD's effects.
