[0146] Table 1
[0147]
[0148] I. Overview of Laboratory Methods
[0149] 1. Detection Principle
[0150] Zebrafish embryos develop vision rapidly; juveniles, developing for only four days after fertilization, already rely on visual cues for hunting and avoidance behaviors. Zebrafish not only share significant similarities with human eyes in structures such as the cornea, lens, choroid, retina, vascularization, and nerve innervation, but also exhibit conserved gene expression, cellular composition, and tissue structure, thus serving as a viable model for vision protection. Damage to DBP (dibutyl phthalate) in zebrafish eyes results in an increased number of dead cells, thus establishing a zebrafish eye injury model.
[0151] 2. Materials and Methods
[0152] 2.1 Detection system and sample size
[0153] Experimental system: wild AB strain zebrafish
[0154] Zebrafish age: five days after fertilization
[0155] Sample size per group: 30 samples per well, 1 well per group
[0156] Adult fish rearing and breeding methods: Follow our company's standard rearing and breeding methods.
[0157] 2.2 Experimental Instruments and Reagents
[0158] Stereoscopic fluorescence microscope (SZX7, Olympus, Japan), dbp (CAS:2508-19-2), ginsenoside Rg1.
[0159] 3. Experimental Procedure
[0160] The zebrafish under test were divided into four groups: blank control group, model control group, positive control group, and sample treatment group. The test substance stock solution (i.e., the contents of the soft capsules) was diluted with buffer water in a proportional manner to prepare a series of appropriate concentration gradient solutions, with a dilution factor of not less than 10 times, and kept for later use.
[0161] The blank control group received no treatment, the model control group received dbp, the positive control group received dbp and ginsenoside Rg1 (1wt%), and the sample treatment group received dbp and sample. After a period of culture, the number of apoptotic zebrafish eye cells was detected.
[0162] II. Applicability and Limitations
[0163] For testing the eye protection efficacy of health products and their raw materials, the sample must be soluble in water or prepared into a uniformly dispersed suspension in water.
[0164] III. Data Processing Methods
[0165] SPSS 26 software was used for analysis, and GraphPad Prism 8 was used for plotting. Data statistics are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Experimental results were tested for normality using SPSS software. If the data conformed to normality, the significance was determined by the T-parameter test or analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the data did not conform to normality, nonparametric tests were used (P-value < 0.05 indicates statistical significance).
[0166] IV. Judgment Criteria
[0167] Compared with the blank control group, the number of apoptotic zebrafish eye cells was significantly increased in the model control group (P<0.05), indicating that the modeling was successful.
[0168] Compared with the model control group, the number of apoptotic zebrafish eye cells in the sample treatment group was significantly less than that in the model control group (P<0.05), indicating that the sample has the effect of protecting eyesight.
[0169] V. Preliminary Experiment Results
[0170] There was no significant difference between the 1% concentration sample treatment group and the blank control group, therefore 1% concentration is the maximum safe concentration.

[0176] Table 3
[0177]
[0178] I. Brief Description of Laboratory Methods
[0179] 1. Detection Principle
[0180] Zebrafish livers contain many lipid metabolism enzymes homologous to those found in mammals, mirroring mammalian defense mechanisms against exogenous chemicals, including enzyme induction and oxidative stress. Furthermore, the transparent bodies of juvenile zebrafish make it easy to observe toxic phenotypes. Ethanol can induce liver damage in zebrafish, mimicking human liver disease. Yolk sac absorption is closely related to liver function; therefore, assessing yolk sac absorption capacity can evaluate liver function in samples.
[0181] 2. Materials and Methods
[0182] 2.1 Experimental Instruments and Reagents
[0183] Stereoscopic microscope (SZX7, Olympus, Japan), anhydrous ethanol (CAS: 64-17-5), metadoxine (Zhejiang Zhenyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.)
[0184] 2.2 Detection system and sample size
[0185] Experimental system: wild AB strain zebrafish
[0186] Zebrafish age: 3 days after fertilization
[0187] Sample size per group: 30 samples per well, 1 well per group
[0188] Adult fish rearing and breeding methods: Follow our company's standard rearing and breeding methods.
[0189] 3. Experimental Procedure
[0190] We divided the zebrafish into four groups: a blank control group, a model control group, a positive control group, and a sample treatment group. The blank control group received no treatment. The model control group, positive control group, and sample treatment group all received anhydrous ethanol in the same volume as the water used for fish rearing (ethanol was ingested by the zebrafish through dissolution in the water). The positive control group and sample treatment group received ethanol along with metadoxine (1 wt%) and the test sample solution, respectively. After a period of culture, the liver-protective effect of the samples was evaluated by testing the yolk sac absorption capacity.
[0191] II. Applicability and Limitations
[0192] For testing of liver protection in health products, food and their raw materials, the sample must be soluble in water or prepared into a uniformly dispersed suspension in water.
[0193] III. Data Processing Methods
[0194] SPSS 26 software was used for analysis, and GraphPad Prism 8 was used for plotting. Data statistics are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The experimental results were tested for normality using SPSS software. If the data conformed to normality, the significance was determined by the T-parameter test or analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the data did not conform to normality, nonparametric tests were used (P-value < 0.05 indicates statistical significance).
[0195] IV. Judgment Criteria
[0196] Based on the fact that the experiment met the validity requirements, the yolk sac area of the model control group was significantly increased compared with that of the blank control group (P<0.05), which means that the modeling was successful.
[0197] Compared with the model control group, the yolk sac area in the sample treatment group was significantly reduced (P<0.05), indicating that the sample has a liver-protective effect.
[0198] V. Preliminary Experimental Test Results
[0199] There was no significant difference between the 1% concentration sample group and the blank control group, therefore 1% concentration is the maximum safe concentration.
