Healthy Food Cabbage Protects the Liver Against Injury

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver is the largest internal organ in the human body, played an essential role in filtering blood from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body.

The organ also produced cholesterol, a waxy substance that is needed to aid digestion and build strong cell membranes, production of steroid hormones and vitamins.

Liver injury may be a result caused by physical impact or penetrating trauma. In some cases, liver injury can also be induced by toxicity, leading to acute liver injury.

Liver injury can be mild or severe. In a mild case, liver injury can recover itself. However, in severe cases. surgery to stop the bleeding and remove the part of injury may be necessary.

According to the statistics, liver injury has been found to constitute 5% of all traumas, making it the most common abdominal injury.

Other most common symptoms associated with liver injury are shocks due to severe bleeding inducing a rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, and cold, clammy, pale or bluish skin.

In some cases, blood accumulated in the abdomen may irritate the abdominal tissue, leading to symptoms of abdominal pain and swollen and tenderness.

The severity of a liver injury can be diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasonography.

Depending on the size of the wound, most cases of liver injury are healed by itself. However, in severe cases, hospitalization may be necessary if the bleeding does not stop.

The most common cause of liver injury is an overdose of medicine which has been found to be the number 1 factor.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem with a crowded mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

On findings a natural wholefood for the improvement of liver diseases, researchers examined the hepatoprotective properties of the essential oil (EO) from white cabbage.

On acute carbon tetrachloride (CT)-induced liver damage,
* Bocfal EO contained organic polysulphides (OPSs), such as dimethyl trisulphide (DMTS) 65.43 ± 4.92% and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS) 19.29 ± 2.16% as major constituents.

* Bocfal EO and DMTS were found to be potent TBARS, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation inhibitors with IC50 values of 0.51 and 3 mg/L, respectively.

* Bocfal EO demonstrated better hepatoprotective properties than did DADS (p < 0.05), although both slightly affected the hepatic parenchyma per se.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The antioxidant properties of Bocfal EO and DMTS may be the mechanism of hepatoprotective action; the parenchymal disturbances by Bocfal EO or DADS alone may be related to the high doses used".

Taken altogether, cabbage process anti liver injury, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
