Ampelopsis grossedentata protects against ethanol-induced acute duodenal injury by inhibiting TNF-triggered caspases-dependent apoptosis in mice.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Ampelopsis grossedentata (AG) is a popular folk tea that has been used in China for more than 1000 years. It is noteworthy that AG is widely recognized for preventing alcohol hangover in folk, and its protective effects on alcohol-induced hepatic steatosis have been demonstrated.

Aim Of The Study: Alcohol overconsumption can induce acute duodenal injury (ADI) that lacks effective therapeutic strategies.
