The 3 Habits Affecting Your Liver Besides Alcohol
The liver has been the master organ.
It regulates the entire body’s functioning.
The liver has the power to regenerate itself.
Liver is a resilient organ, yet the modern liver’s health is at stake.
Alcohol is usually termed as damaging the liver.
But ironically, advanced liver diseases have now been found in people without alcohol use.
Age is no longer a bar to declining health.
A young guy of 18 years of age and an adult of 65 years of age share the same disease profile.
At Aprazer Healthcare (Hepatology medicine manufacturer), we are focused on manufacturing advanced liver care drugs.
We strive to delve deep to understand the modern-day complexities causing a rise in liver disorders.
What is causing the rise in liver diseases?
Liver health does not decline overnight.
Long- term health is built on daily habits.
The modern-day challenges not only affect mental health, it equally degrades physical health.
It is cutting down the overall health.
The habits of undisciplined eating, sedentarism, and stress are taking a toll on health.
How synthetic diets affect the liver?
Our liver is designed to filter the natural diet.
The processed food, refined carbs, fried foods, and extra sugars lead to an increased workload.
The synthetic products increase the level of toxins, overloading the liver.
The liver is not able to perform its functions of fat breakdown.
The fats accumulate in the liver.
The youngsters constantly serving the junk and the processed items, when tested, show an early start of liver degradation.
Why does lack of sleep stress the liver?
Sleep influences overall well-being.
Besides cognition or energy, it affects the organs, too.
Sleep is the natural time when the body heals.
It is a time for the body to repair cells and metabolism.
The liver filters toxins during the rest stage.
The lack of sleep shuts the repair window.
The body is not able to heal.
The liver starts to accumulate toxins and fats in itself.
No rest is no break to the body’s machinery.
Can chronic stress form a vicious cycle, damaging the liver?
Long-term stress at the workplace, households increases a burden on the mind.
It brings a hormonal shift.
It deregulates the endocrine.
It increases the level of cortisol and inflammation, which in turn slows the liver’s functioning.
The excess stress alters the entire process of the body cycle-
- It disrupts sleep
- It leads to binge eating /skipping meals.
- hormonal imbalance
It forms a triad, severely increasing the workload on the liver.
Conclusion –
The modern lifestyle and the ease of life cannot be completely refrained from.
Balancing is the key to moderation.
Key driver to good liver health- managing the triad
Stress, diet, and sleep

It leads to treatment failure and the spread of the disease.
Ultimately, developing resistance to the drug.
Antimicrobial Resistance- Why and How?
The bacteria or the microbes change their structure.
It gets adapted to the antibiotics.
The medicine becomes ineffective.
It is not able to treat bacterial infection.
Antimicrobial resistance is caused by –
Over prescription/self-medication –
The frequent use of antibiotics.
The self-medication causes an overuse of antibiotics.
Without identifying the strain, these are used over the counter to treat simple flu and viral infections.
Antibiotics in viral infections –
Antibiotics can’t be used for viral diseases.
It cannot cure viral infections.
It causes unnecessary exposure. It provides an opportunity for the bacteria to develop resistance.
Incomplete treatment – It leaves the viable bacteria.
The remaining microbes lead to the development of resistance.
Overuse of antibiotics –

How do medicines travel in the GIT tract? Understanding the hostile environment
The drug is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract at multiple sites.
The GIT tract consists of the stomach, intestine, and colon. Each has a different pH and microbiota.
The absorption of the drug in the GIT is hindered by various factors –
PH conditions –
The acidic PH degrades many drugs, leading to irritation or sometimes low solubility.
- Stomach PH is acidic
- Intestinal PH is neutral
- Colon PH is alkaline
Digestive enzymes –The proteolytic enzymes degrade the drug.
It reduces systemic absorption.
Thick mucus – the mucosal layer traps the drug particles. It inhibits the drug from reaching the internal layer for absorption.
Tight epithelial junctions – The tight junctions between the cells prevent the passage of large molecules or hydrophilic drugs.
What are the targeted Systems for increased Oral Drug Absorption in the Gastrointestinal Tract?
PH responsive systems –
It is the coating of the drug molecule to dissolve at specific pH levels.
Polymers like Eudragit, etc.
It is widely used for targeted drug delivery in the intestine, the ileum, or the colon.
These bypass the low acid in the stomach.
Mucus penetrating/mucoadhesives –
Mucosadhesive polymers like chitosan/ carbopol adhere to the mucus layer.
It increases stay time and drug release.
Mucus-penetrating nanoparticles cross the mucosal barrier.
These reach the underlying epithelial layer for absorption.
Microbiome-activated systems-
They are microbial-triggered systems; the coating layer disintegrates when targeted by a specific enzyme or the colon bacteria.
Nano-carriers- The drug coating consists of lipid-soluble carriers or polymeric carriers for controlled drug release.
These are used to increase –
- Drug loading capacity
- To increase solubility
- Prevent PH degradation
Gastroretentive systems –
In order to prolong the gastric stay of the drugs, gastro-retentive drug delivery systems are adopted.
These are widely used for drugs that have –
- Narrow- absorption in the upper GIT tract
- Local action
- To increase the solubility of the drug in the stomach
It includes –
- Floating systems – they float in the stomach, increasing the stay in the stomach.
- High-density systems- they sink in the gastric fluid, prolong its stay.
- Swelling systems – they swell up, preventing them from rapidly passing through the pyloric sphincter.
