Bioactive Food as Dietary Interventions for Liver and Gastrointestinal Disease

The liver plays a central role in the processing of fats, sugars and proteins brought into the circulatory system through the gastrointestinal tract. The liver is also vital to the body's defenses by marshalling an array of responses to trauma, stress, toxins, and inflammation. Although the liver is capable of regeneration and repair, severe liver disease is life threatening. 

There is significant contribution to alcohol-related andother liver damage by oxidants so dietary antioxidants have potential for mitigating roles.
