Oleuropein overrides liver damage in steatotic mice

Mitigation of autophagy ameliorates hepatocellular damage following ischemia-reperfusion injury in murine steatotic liver.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common clinical consequence of hepatic surgery, cardiogenic shock, and liver transplantation. A steatotic liver is particularly vulnerable to IRI, responding with extensive hepatocellular injury. Autophagy, a lysosomal pathway balancing cell survival and cell death, is engaged in IRI, although its role in IRI of a steatotic liver is unclear. The role of au...

Hepatoprotective Effect of Oleuropein against Cisplatin-Induced Liver Damage in Rat

Tumor necrosis factor‐α‐mediated hepatocyte apoptosis stimulates fibrosis in the steatotic liver in mice

Hepatocyte apoptosis has been implicated in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. However, it is unclear whether the induction of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis in the simple fatty liver triggers liver fibrosis. To address this question, high-fat diet-fed mice were repeatedly administered D-galactosamine, which increases the sensitivity of hepatocytes to ...

The Antioxidant Effect of Camellia Sinesison on the Liver Damage Induced by Tioacetamide in Male Mice

Abstract Background and Objective: Flavonoids play an important role in non-enzymatic reaction against oxidative stress. These are polyphenolic compounds in tea structure that could be reacted with free radicals and neutralized them. In this study, we investigated the anti-oxidant impact of Camellia Sinesis on the liver of thioacetamide -injected male albino mice. Material and Methods...

Astaxanthin prevents ischemia-reperfusion injury of the steatotic liver in mice

Steatosis has a low tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). To prevent IRI in the steatotic liver, we attempted to elucidate the protective effect of astaxanthin (ASTX) in the steatotic liver model by giving mice a methionine and choline-deficient high fat (MCDHF) diet. Levels of lipid peroxidation and apoptosis, the expression of inflammatory cytokines and heme oxygenase (HO)-1, i...
