Conophylline inhibits non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in mice
Conophylline (CnP), a vinca alkaloid extracted from the leaves of the tropical plant Ervatamia microphylla, attenuates hepatic fibrosis in mice. However, little is known about whether CnP inhibits steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in mice. A methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet was administered to male db/db mice as a NASH model, and CnP (1 μg/kg/d...
متن کاملUpregulated microRNA-199a-5p inhibits nuclear receptor corepressor 1 translation in mice with non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis.
Mounting evidence indicates that dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) are important in the etiology and pathogenesis of steatohepatitis. However, the functions of miRNAs in the pathophysiological process of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are poorly understood. In this study, C57BL/6J mice were fed a methionine-choline‑deficient (MCD) diet for eight weeks in order to induce hepatic steatohepati...
متن کاملNon-alcoholic steatohepatitis in children.
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is an important liver disease in children; it can cause cirrhosis in children. The disease mechanism involves hepatic insulin resistance with hyperinsulinemia and changes in certain adipocytokines and inflammatory mediators. The differential diagnosis of childhood NASH includes metabolic disorders, drug hepatotoxicity, and alcoholic hepatitis in adolescent p...
متن کاملHypoxia aggravates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in mice lacking hepatocellular PTEN.
The metabolic disorders that predispose patients to NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) include insulin resistance and obesity. Repeated hypoxic events, such as occur in obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, have been designated as a risk factor in the progression of liver disease in such patients, but the mechanism is unclear, in particular the role of hypoxia. Therefore we studied the influence...
