Hepatoprotective effects of selenium-biofortified soybean peptides on liver fibrosis induced by tetrachloromethane

The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of selenium-biofortified soybean peptides (SSPs) in liver fibrosis induced by tetrachloromethane (CCl4) in rats. SSPs was found to remarkably attenuate the liver fibrosis by inhibiting α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) synthesis in th...
