چکیده

background: stearic acid is known as a potent anti-inflammatory lipid. this fatty acid has profound and diverse effects on liver metabolism. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of stearic acid on markers of hepatocyte transplantation in rats with acetaminophen (apap)-induced liver damage. methods: wistar rats were randomly assigned to 10-day treatment. stearic acid was administered to the rats with apap-induced liver damage. the isolated liver cells were infused intraperitoneally into rats. blood samples were obtained to evaluate the changes in the serum liver enzymes, including activities of aspartate aminotransferase (ast), alanine aminotransferase (alt) and alkaline phosphatase (alp) and the level of serum albumin. to assess the engraftment of infused hepatocytes, rats were euthanized, and the liver dna was used for pcr using sex-determining region y (sry) primers. results: the levels of ast, alt and alp in the serum of rats with apap-induced liver injury were significantly increased and returned to the levels in control group by day six. the apap-induced decrease in albumin was significantly improved in rats through cell therapy, when compared with that in the apap-alone treated rats. sry pcr analysis showed the presence of the transplanted cells in the liver of transplanted rats. conclusion: stearic acid-rich diet in combination with cell therapy accelerates the recovering of hepatic dysfunction in a rat model of liver injury.

Impact of Propionic Acid on Liver Damage in Rats

Propionic acid (PA) is a short chain fatty acid, a common food preservative and metabolic end product of enteric bacteria in the gut. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of PA on liver injury in male rats. Male western albino rats were divided into two groups. The first group served as normal control, the second was treated with PA. The activities of serum hepatospecific ...

Dietary eritadenine and ethanolamine depress fatty acid desaturase activities by increasing liver microsomal phosphatidylethanolamine in rats.

The effects of eritadenine, a constituent of the Lentinus edodes mushroom, and ethanolamine, the base constituent of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), on fatty acid desaturase activities and lipid profiles were investigated comparatively in rats. Rats were fed a control diet or a diet supplemented with either eritadenine (0.05 g/kg) or ethanolamine (8 g/kg) for 14 d. Eritadenine and ethanolamine h...

Conversion of first and sixth carbons of stearic acid to carbon dioxide by rats.

An earlier study from this laboratory dealt with the rates of U402 expiration when palmitic acid labeled with Cl4 was injected intravenously into rats (1). It was shown that, regardless of which carbon atom of this fatty acid was labeled (the carboxyl, the 6th, or the 11th) the amounts of Cl402 expired and the rates of its elimination were quite similar. It was therefore postulated that, once t...
