Hepatoprotective Effect of Active Constituents Isolated from Mung Beans (P haseolus radiatus L.) in an Alcohol-Induced Liver Injury Mouse Model

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effects of flavonoids from mung beans in an alcohol-induced liver injury mouse model. Mung bean extract (ME) was obtained by extraction with 75% ethanol, followed by concentration and lyophilization. Two major flavonoids (TMF) were isolated from mung beans and authenticated as vitexin and isovitexin. The hepatoprotective effect of ME and TMF against liver damage was...
