Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate the effect of sympathetic nervous system which is activated by stress on NASH, alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist, phenylephrine and beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, isoproterenol were administered to mice concurrent with high fat diet feeding. Four weeks after the commencement of feeding, hepatic histological findings were evaluated. While hepatic steatosis was not changed by phenylephrine, isoproterenol augmented hepatic steatosis. Microarray and Real time PCR showed that hepatic CPT1 mRNA level, which is related to beta-oxidation in mitocondria tended to be decreased in isoproterenol-treated mice. These indicates that beta-adrenergic agonist stimulates hepatic steatosis through the suppression of beta-oxidation in NASH.
