Gut-liver axis modulation of Panax notoginseng saponins in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

ConclusionPNS exerted hepatoprotection against NAFLD in both ob/ob and HFD-induced obese mice, primarily by mediating the gut-liver axis in a TLR4-dependent manner.Graphic abstractPanax notoginseng saponins (PNS) ameliorated hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, and gut-liver axis-mediated pathogenesis of NAFLD is proposed to occur in a TLR4-dependent manner.
