The effects of dietary oligosaccharides on the hepatotoxic action of D-galactosamine (GalN) were investigated in this study. Male Wistar rats fed with 20% casein diets containing 10% oligosaccharide or D-galactose (Gal) for 2 weeks were injected with GalN (1,900 mg/kg of body weight), and the plasma aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities and the hepatic glycogen concentration were examined 20 hours after the injection. The plasma AST and ALT activities in experiment 1 for the Gal+neomycin (NEO) group were significantly lower than those for the control (C), NEO, raffinose (RAF)+NEO and galacto-oligosaccharide (GALO)+NEO groups. In experiment 2, these activities were significantly lower in the Gal, Gal+NEO and RAF groups than in the RAF+NEO group when the groups were treated with GalN. On the other hand, in respect of the hepatic glycogen concentration in experiment 1, that of the Gal+NEO group was higher than that of the C, NEO, RAF+NEO or GALO+NEO groups. In experiment 2, this parameter was significantly higher in the Gal, Gal+NEO and RAF groups than in the RAF+NEO group after the GalN treatment. As a result, it is suggested that the GalN-hepatitis-suppressive effects of indigestible oligosaccharides such as RAF or GALO is mediated by the action of intestinal bacteria. 相似文献

The protective effect of dietary l-glutamine against the hepatotoxic action of d-galactosamine (GalN) was investigated by model experiments with rats. Rats fed with 20% casein diets containing 10% free amino acids were injected with GalN, and the serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase activities and the hepatic glycogen content were assayed 20 hours after the injection. These enzyme activities in the group fed with the 10% l-glutamine diet for 8 days were lower than those in the groups fed with the control, 10% l-glutamic acid and 10% l-alanine diets for 8 days. The more prolonged the feeding period with the 10% l-glutamine diet was, the more the serum activity levels of such enzymes were decreased. Although neomycin also lowered these enzyme activities, its simultaneous ingestion with neomycin did not show any additive or synergistic effect. The hepatic glycogen content in the 10% glutamine group still remained high after the GalN treatment. It is therefore assumed that the effectiveness of glutamine intake would have been mediated by glycogen metabolism rather than by uridine metabolism. 相似文献

Effects of dietary protein type on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced hepatitis, as assessed by plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities, were investigated in D-galactosamine (GalN)-sensitized rats. The plasma ALT and AST activities in rats fed on 25% soybean protein isolate (SPI) diet were significantly suppressed to about 1/4 and 1/5 of the values in rats fed on 25% casein diet, respectively, 8 h after the injection of LPS + GalN. Although hepatic ALT and AST activities of normal rats were also lower in the SPI group than in the casein group, this could not explain the differences in plasma enzyme activities between the two groups. The hepatic glutathione concentration of normal rats was lower in the SPI group than in the casein group, but it was reversed in rats injected with drugs. The results suggest that SPI can protect animals from LPS + GalN-induced hepatitis, and that the hepatic glutathione level may participate in the effects of SPI. 相似文献

We investigated the hepatoprotective effect of purple potato extract (PPE) against D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver injury in rats. PPE (400 mg) was administered once daily for 8 d, and then GalN (250 mg/kg of body weight) was injected at 22 h before the rats were killed. Serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and asparate aminotranferase (AST) levels increased significantly after injection of GalN, but PPE inhibited GalN-induced alterations in serum TNF-alpha, LDH, ALT, and AST levels. Hepatic lipid peroxide and glutathione levels in the control + GalN group were higher and lower respectively than those in the control group, and those in the PPE + GalN group did not differ from that in the control group. The lipid peroxide level in hepatic microsomes treated with 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride in the PPE group was significantly lower than that in the control group. This suggests that PPE has hepatoprotective effects against GalN-induced hepatotoxicity via inhibition lipid peroxidation and/or inflammation in rats. 相似文献

The effect of dietary amino acid taurine on the liver function of chronic hepatitis patients was investigated. The 24 chronic hepatitis patients with 2-5 times over normal activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were selected and equally divided into taurine treatment and control groups. In taurine treatment group, each patient took 2 g taurine 3 times a day for three months, and then stopped treatment for 1 month. Patients taking placebo without taurine for 4 months served as a control group. ALT and AST activities and levels of cholesterol, triglyceride and thiobarbituric acid relative substances of serum plasma in the taurine group were all decreased at the end of three month treatment. The study suggested that dietary amino acid taurine may ameliorate liver injury for chronic hepatitis patients. 相似文献

d-Galactosamine (GalN) induces acute hepatitis in experimental animals and this hepatitis has been shown to be suppressed by preceding ingestion of amino acids such as Gly, l-Ser, and l-Gln. However, little is known about the mechanism of its action. The present study shows for the first time that IL-18 reduction is involved in the suppressive actions of l-Gln and l-Ser on GalN-induced hepatitis. Elevation of IL-18 mRNA expression in liver and its concentration in serum in GalN-treated rats were found to be suppressed by preceding ingestion of 10% l-Gln- or 10% l-Ser diets, and resulted in the attenuation of the increase in serum transaminase (ALT and AST) activities, indexes of hepatic injury. These results suggest that suppressive effects of some dietary amino acids on the GalN-induced hepatitis are mediated by IL-18 reduction. 相似文献

Enzyme levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured in the cytosol of renal cortex samples from either normal and pathologic kidney tissue. The mean enzyme activity values, expressed in Units per gram of cytosolic protein decreased in the following order: normal cortex (LDH = 4,299 +/- 654; AST = 522 +/- 101; ALT = 197 +/- 44). chronic pyelonephritis (LDH = 2,360 +/- 876; AST = 297 +/- 117; ALT = 90 +/- 48), hydronephrosis (LDH = 2,208 +/- 1,264; AST = 279 +/- 165; ALT = 82 +/- 61), pyonephrosis (LDH = 1,410 +/- 596; AST = 158 +/- 69; ALT = 23.4 +/- 16.4) and renal tuberculosis (LDH = 1,149 +/- 481; AST = 93 +/- 34; ALT = 5.6 +/- 2.8). The decrease in the enzyme activities paralleled tissue damage and it was shown to affect cellular functionality in relation with energy and amino acid metabolism. 相似文献

The protective effect of pinitol against D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver damage was examined. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal control, GalN control, and pinitol groups (0.5%, 1%, and 2%). After 8 weeks of feeding, a single dose of GalN (650 mg/kg) was administered 24 h before their sacrifice. The serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels were significantly increased after an injection with GalN (P<0.05), but pinitol supplementation at the level of 0.5% reversed these changes to normal levels. Significant decreases in serum triglyceride and cholesterol and increases in hepatic cholesterol were observed in GalN-intoxicated rats. However, supplementation with pinitol significantly attenuated these trends. In addition, pinitol elevated the Mn-superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and catalase activities, prevented hepatic lipid peroxidation, and restored the hepatic GSH levels and cytochrome P450 2E1 function. Thus, 0.5% pinitol supplementation protected the rats from the hepatotoxicity induced by GalN, at least part of its effect being attributable to attenuation of the oxidative stress and inflammatory process promoted by GalN. 相似文献

The Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) is a critically endangered aquatic fish. Health monitoring and welfare assessments are critical for the conservation of Chinese sturgeon. In this study, biochemical parameters of serum and skin mucus in Chinese sturgeon were examined to evaluate the potential biomarkers. Serum and mucous samples were obtained from Chinese sturgeon, and the levels of total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), lactic acid (LD), acid phosphatase (ACP), lysozyme (LYZ), glucose (GLU), and cortisol were determined. The concentrations of ALT, AST, cortisol, and LYZ were significantly higher in the mucous group than those in the serum group (p < 0.05). In addition, the concentrations of ALP, ACP, LD, LDH, CK, and TP were significantly higher level in the serum group than those in the mucous group (p < 0.05). Moreover, the correlations between serum and mucous biochemical parameters were established. Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between serum and skin mucous markers (ACP, cortisol, and LYZ). AST versus ALT in serum and mucus showed a significant positive correlation (p < 0.01). A significant positive correlation was found between cortisol and CK in mucus (p < 0.01). Moreover, LD versus LDH in serum showed a significant but weak positive correlation (p < 0.01). Principal component analysis revealed a complete separation between the serum and mucous groups, with the biomarkers that contributed the most being ALP, TP, ALT, and AST. This study provides baseline data and reference intervals for serum and mucous biochemical parameters in presumably healthy Chinese sturgeons. The current study has important implications for the development of conservation strategies and the conservation status of critically endangered species. 相似文献

We investigated the hepatoprotective effects of a concentrate of sake (CS) and its components against D-galactosamine (GalN)-induced liver injury by measuring the plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities in mice. CS significantly suppressed the GalN-induced elevation of ALT and AST activities. Each of four concentrated fractions extracted from sake (respectively consisting mainly of basic amino acids, neutral and acidic amino acids, organic acids and sugars) suppressed the GalN-induced elevation of ALT and AST activities. We focused on the sugar fraction containing glucose and ethyl alpha-D-glucoside (alpha-EG), which is a sake-specific sugar, as the major components and demonstrated that only alpha-EG showed significant suppression of the GalN-induced elevation of ALT and AST activities. We compared the effects of the alpha-EG analogues, methyl alpha-D-glucoside and ethyl beta-D-glucoside, on GalN-induced liver injury and confirmed that only alpha-EG significantly suppressed both the ALT and AST activities. Moreover, CS and alpha-EG suppressed the GalN-induced production of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and liver DNA fragmentation. Together these results show that CS and its component, alpha-EG, suppressed GalN-induced liver injury by inhibiting IL-6 production. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of microbial phytase (Natuphos® 500) supplementation in chicks fed different levels of available phosphorus (AP) and citric acid (CA) on performance, mineral retention (Ca, P, Mg, and Zn), bone and plasma minerals (Ca, P, Mg, and Zn), plasma total protein (TP), and serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities. Data were analyzed as a 2×4×2 factorial arrangement with two levels of AP (3.5 and 2.5 g/kg), four levels of phytase (0, 200, 400 and 600 U/kg), and two levels of citric acid (0 and 20 g/kg). The low-AP diets reduced performance. Phytase supplementation increased weight gain (up to 7% quadratically) and feed consumption (up to 5%). This response was statistically maximized by 200 U/kg phytase. Feed to gain ratio was not affected by phytase addition. Growth response to phytase was negatively affected by citric acid. Decreasing AP content in the diet increased Ca, P, and Mg retention, and reduced Zn retention. Phytase supplementation linearly increased Ca, P, and Zn retention by 9, 10 and 16%, respectively. Citric acid addition also increased Ca, P, and Zn retention by 3, 3 and 4%, respectively. Likewise, the decrease in AP content in the diet caused a reduction of tibia ash and tibia Zn, and an increase in tibia Ca and P contents. Phytase supplementation increased tibia ash (up to 4%), tibia Ca (up to 2%), P (up to 1%) and Zn (up to 4%) contents, tibia weight (up to 9%), and relative tibia (up to 19%) and liver (up to 13%) weights. Citric acid increased tibia ash (2%), and tibia Ca (2%) and P (2%) contents. Finally, by decreasing AP levels in the diet, plasma Ca and Zn concentrations as well as AST, ALP, and LDH activities were increased. However, plasma P and TP content were reduced. Phytase supplementation increased linearly plasma Ca (up to 4%), P (up to 12%), Mg (up to 10%), Zn (up to 22%) and TP (up to 7%) content, and serum AST (up to 22%), ALT (up to 40%), and LDH (up to 17%) activities, and reduced linearly serum ALP (up to 34%) activity. Citric acid addition increased plasma Ca, Mg, and Zn content by 10, 4, and 5%, respectively, and reduced ALP activity by 13%. In conclusion, these results indicated that the addition of phytase to maize and soyabean meal low-AP diets improved the performance and increased Ca, P, and Zn utilization in chicks. However, the inclusion of citric acid depressed the performance and caused an increase in mineral utilization. Growth response to phytase was negatively affected by citric acid. 相似文献

There is little information about the hepatoprotective effects of gallic acid against ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) damage. Animals were subjected to I/R. Gallic acid at doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight (bw) were injected as a single dose prior to ischemia. Liver tissue homogenates were used for the measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels. At the same time alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were assayed in serum samples and compared statistically. While the ALT, AST, LDH activities and MDA levels were significantly increased, CAT and GPx activities significantly decreased in only I/R-induced control rats compared to normal control rats (P < 0.05). Treatment with gallic acid at a dose of 100 mg/kg bw significantly decreased the ALT, AST, LDH activities and MDA levels, and markedly increased activities of CAT and GPx in tissue homogenates compared to I/R-induced rats with no treatment group (P < 0.05). In oxidative stress generated by hepatic ischemia–reperfusion, gallic acid contributes partially an alteration in the delicate balance between the scavenging capacity of antioxidant defense systems and free radicals in favour of the antioxidant defense systems in the body. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effect of ebselen (EB) against hyperglycemia induced by the organophosphate (OPI) diazinon (DI) in rats. The insulin-mimetic properties of EB were investigated in vitro with the aim of better understanding the hypoglycemic effect of this compound. The protective effect of EB against pancreatic and hepatic damage caused by DI in rats was also appraised. In the in vivo experiments, rats were pre-treated with a single injection of EB (50mg/kg, intraperitoneal, i.p.). Afterward, animals were treated with a single injection of DI (200 mg/kg, i.p.). The parameters indicative of pancreatic and hepatic damage such as, serum amylase, lipase, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities as well as serum glucose levels, hepatic glycogen content and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) activity were determined. EB pre-treatment was effective in reducing serum amylase, lipase, AST, ALT, ALP, and LDH activities, protecting against pancreatic and hepatic damage. EB reduced hyperglycemia and increased hepatic glycogen content in animals exposed to DI. In the in vitro assays, EB (150 μM) or insulin (IN 10 μM, positive control) was incubated with either skeletal muscle or hepatic tissue with the aim of measuring glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis and glycogen breakdown. EB increased the glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, stimulated hepatic glycogen synthesis and inhibited glycogen breakdown in a similar way to IN. In conclusion, EB, possibly through its insulin-mimetic action, protected against pancreatic and hepatic damage caused by DI in rats. 相似文献

Significant disorders of liver metabolic pathways enzymes after high-cholesterol diet could give information on liver steatosis
development. This process could probably also be inhibited by some compounds, as examined in rabbits. Forty-two male rabbits
were served a high-cholesterol diet (2 g%) (0.67 g/kg b.m./24 h) with addition of d,l-methionine (70 mg/kg b.m./24 h) or seleno-d,l-methionine (12.5 μg/kg b.m./24 h) or α-tocopherol (10 mg/kg b.m./24 h) for 3 months to compare the protection effect of used
compounds on liver metabolism and steatosis. At the beginning and every month, blood was taken. After the experiment was completed,
livers were dissected for histological examinations. The concentration of total cholesterol (t-CH), triacylglycerol (TG),
and the activities of aldolase (ALD), sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH), lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were determined. Plasma t-CH and TG concentrations
were significantly higher in all experimental groups vs control group. Blood serum AST and ALT activities did not undergo
change but there were observed not significant increase in the CH group vs control group. Activities of SDH, GLDH, and LDH
increased in blood serum and decreased in the liver in all experimental groups. Activities of LDH and SDH increased in the
liver in the CH+Met group vs CH group. ALD activity decreased in the liver only in the CH and CH+Se groups. This data support
a lipotoxic model of cholesterol-mediated hepatic steatosis. Prolonged administration of high-cholesterol diet not only disturbs
the structure of cell membranes, which is expressed by decreased activity of enzymes in the liver and the migration of those
enzymes to plasma but as well leads to steatosis of the liver, which has been confirmed by histological examinations. The
applied compounds appear to have a varying influence upon the activity of enzymes determined in serum and liver. Obtained
results showed a beneficial influence of methionine and vitamin E supplementation on liver steatosis development. 相似文献

This work has been carried out to investigate the effect of Schistosoma mansoni infection on mice livers after treatment with the ethanolic extract of Citrus reticulata root or the oleo-resin extract from Myrrh of Commiphora molmol tree (Mirazid), as a new antishistosomal drug. Marker enzymes for different cell organelles were measured; succinate dehydrogenase (SDH); lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzymes; glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase); acid phosphatase (AP) and 5'- nucleotidase. Liver function enzymes; aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were also estimated. Parasitological studies through ova count and worm burden will also be taken into consideration. The results showed a marked reduction in SDH, LDH, AST, and ALT enzyme activities and a significant increase in G-6-Pase, AP, 5'- nucleotidase, and ALP after S. mansoni infection. A noticeable alteration in LDH subunits were also noticed. Treatment with C. reticulata or Mirazid improved all the previous enzyme activities with a noticeable reduction in ova count and worm burden. 相似文献
