METHODS: Using an experimental rat model of steatosis based on the intake of a hyperlipidic diet (14% fat as olive oil or sunflower oil, HL-O and HL-S, respectively), we analyzed the liver's capability of recovery after the treatment with a normal-lipidic diet (5% fat as olive oil or sunflower oil, NL-O and NL-S, respectively) by immunoo/tochemical and Western blot analysis of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression in PSCs, collagen quantification and serum aminotransferase determination. RESULTS: The fatty infiltration in the steatotic livers decreased after the treatment with both NL diets, indicating liver recovery. This decrease was accompanied with a lower collagen deposition and aminotransferase level as well as changes in the PSC population that increased the GFAP expression. The above-mentioned effects were more pronounced in animals fed on NL-O based diet. CONCLUSION: Treatment with a balanced diet enriched in olive oil contributes to the liver recovery from a steatotic process. The PSC phenotype is a marker of this hepatic-recovery model.展开更多
文摘动脉粥样硬化 (AS)严重威胁人类健康 ,被称为导致人类死亡的“第一杀手”。近年来的研究发现 ,氧化型 L DL 与 AS过程中的多种病变有密切的关系 ,文章在高脂饮食条件下 ,研究了耐力性运动对氧化型 L DL 水平的影响。实验结果提示 ,耐力性运动可有效地抵抗高脂饮食造成的体内氧化型 L DL水平的升高。耐力性运动提高机体抗氧化能力的作用可能是其抑制体内氧化型 L DL 水平升高的重要原因。
