Many trials using the standardised extract of milk thistle support the clinical indications for both non-alcoholic and alcoholic fatty liver disease/damage as well as for cirrhosis, fatty liver, exposure to chemical pollutants (such as drugs, halogenated hydrocarbons, solvents, paints, glues and anaesthesia) and even for the treatment of death cap poisoning (1)

Tissue homogenization: Rinse the tissue with pre-chilled PBS (0.01M, pH 7.4) to remove residual blood (lysed red blood cells in the homogenate will affect the measurement results). Weigh the tissue and mince it. Add the minced tissue to the appropriate volume of PBS (generally a 1:9 weight-to-volume ratio, e.g., 1 g of tissue sample to 9 mL of PBS. The specific volume can be adjusted according to experimental needs and recorded. It is recommended to add protease inhibitors to the PBS) in a glass homogenizer and grind thoroughly on ice. To further lyse tissue cells, the homogenate can be sonicated or repeatedly frozen and thawed. Finally, centrifuge the homogenate at 5000 g for 5-10 minutes, and the supernatant can be assayed
