Alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and spirits are widely consumed around the world. However, alcohol and its metabolite acetaldehyde are toxic and harmful to human beings. Chronic alcohol use disorder or occasional binge drinking can cause a wide range of health problems, such as hangover, liver damage and cancer. Some natural products such as traditional herbs, fruits, and vegetables might be potential dietary supplements or medicinal products for the prevention and treatment of the problems caused by excessive alcohol consumption. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of effective natural products for the prevention and treatment of hangover and alcohol use disorder, and special emphasis is paid to the possible functional component(s) and related mechanism(s) of action.

In this study, the fatty acid (FA) composition of the Japanese grape (Hovenia dulcis) seed oil (JGSO) was firstly evaluated. It was found that the seed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), containing approximately 425 mg LNA g -1 of total lipids. A fish diet supplemented with JGSO was prepared and supplied to Nile tilapia to investigate the FA composition of the fillets. For this, Nile tilapia were submitted to two feeding treatments: a control diet with 4.2% of soybean oil, and a diet supplemented with 4.2% of JGSO. The LNA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) values increased significantly (406, 153 and 126%, respectively) with JGSO in the diet and with an increase in feeding time, while the nutritional quality indexes, n-6/n-3 ratio and index of thrombogenicity, decreased 2.8 and 1.4 times, respectively. Thus, the replacement JGSO in the diet raised the nutritional lipid quality in Nile tilapia.Keywords: fatty acids, omega-3, Oreochromis niloticus, supplementation, LNA IntroductionOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), especially alpha-linolenic acid (LNA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA,, have been extensively studied and said to be beneficial to human health. [1][2][3] A high ratio of dietary n-6/n-3 (omega-6/omega-3) has been reported around the world, reaching ratios between 15:1 and 20:1, while the recommended value is between 2:1 and 1:1. 4 This imbalance in the n-6/n-3 ratios is the result of an excess intake of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFAs) from corn, soybean, and sunflower oils. Furthermore, a high intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) such as myristic acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0), and stearic acid (18:0), may contribute to an increase in the indexes of atherogenicity (IA) and thrombogenicity (IT) 6 and to a reduction in the hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic fatty acid ratio (HH). 7Around the world, flaxseed, perilla, and chia are known sources of LNA, [8][9][10] while fish and microalgae oils rank among the most important sources of EPA and DHA. 11,12 The Japanese grape is originally from Japan, but has quickly expanded to other countries, such as India, Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, due to its easy adaptation to the soil and resistance to cold. 13 The Japanese grape are deciduous trees, growing to 10 to 15 m and reaching 20 to 40 cm in diameter of the trunk, commonly used for ornamental and reforestation purposes, and the wood for production of energy, paper and cellulose. The fruit is a small dry capsule from 6 to 7 mm in diameter containing 2 to 4 seeds, attached to a peduncle, which becomes thickened and fleshy when mature, which is also sweet and pleasant-tasting. The seeds are brown with a circular shape from 4 to 8 mm in diameter.14 The peduncles (pseudofruits) can be consumed in natura or in dehydrated form and are also used for alcoholic fermentation, to produce wine or vinegar. 15,16 According to Bampi et al. 13 the peduncles are rich in sugars and have a high content of dietary fi...
