ABSTRACT

Objective: Oxidative stress and alcohol-induced hepatocellular injury are major contributors to the development of liver disorders. Method: The protective effects of Bovitacin Lipa were evaluated in hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)- and ethanol (EtOH)-induced cytotoxicity models using HepG2 cells. Result: Exposure of HepG2 cells to H₂O₂ (1 mM) or EtOH (100 mM) significantly reduced cell viability while treatment with Bovitacin Lipa at concentrations ranging from 10 to 500 μg/mL markedly and dose-dependently restored cell viability under both stress conditions. At higher concentrations, cell viability approached levels comparable to normal control. Conclusion: These results suggest that Bovitacin Lipa exerts a protective effect against oxidative stress- and ethanol-induced hepatocellular injury.
