Research Abstract |
First of all, we explored the oxidative stress marker (s) using proteomics and identified that MnSOD may be a useful serum biomarker for distinguishing between simple steatotis (SS) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Second, in a rat experimental model, hepatic steatosis (HS) developed in the high fructose diet (H-fruc) group, but was less severe compared to the high fat diet (H-fat) group. In contrast, liver regeneration after 70% partial hepatectomy (PHx) was impaired in the H-fruc group compared to the H-fat and control groups. In addition, the H-fruc group developed a significantly higher incidence of GST-P-positive precancerous lesions compared to the H-fat group. These results indicate that impairment of liver regeneration after PHx and the incidence of precancerous lesions in HS are related to the cause, rather than the degree, of steatosis. Thus, our study demonstrates that serum MnSOD is potential novel marker for NAFLD, and that the pathophysiological condition and progression of NAFLD are potentially affected by different diets.
