Abstract
⺠Ethanol reduces autophagy activity by suppressing AMPK activity in hepatocytes. ⺠Puerarin recovers autophagy activity by stimulating AMPK and suppressing mTOR. ⺠Puerarin plays hepatoprotective role in ethanol-treated hepatocytes. ⺠Puerarin might be used for treating alcoholic liver damage.
