Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lard-based high-fat diet (HFD) feeding rats in endotoxemia worsened liver injury, but attenuated lung injury. HFD feeding enhanced proinflammatory lipid mediators 1.5 h after lipopolysaccharide injection suggesting relation to liver injury. The elevation of pulmonary secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor, anti-inflammatory protein, might be associated with the reduction of lung injury in these rats. Tributyrin, prodrug of butyrate, suppressed endotoxin-induced lipid metabolism disorder. Oral tributyrin administration prevents elevation plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels through improved fatty acid oxidation, PPARs and histone H3 in the liver in endotoxemic rats.
