| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Fatty liver is a risk factor for steatohepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis and hepatoma, thus increasing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related with obesity is becoming a problem. This study examined animal model and analysis method for the elucidation of the multifactorial mechanism leading nonalcoholic steatohepatitis development, and prevention by food component. Liver mRNA of rat examined by the focused microarray analysis. High fat diet fed rats with high value of serum liver disorder marker and fatty liver accompanied the increment of mRNA expression of cytokine related on initial stage of the inflammation, along with influence of several antioxidative enzymes. These results show the application possibility of focused microarray analysis on the investigation of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis development caused by the multifactorial mechanism. Further study will enable elucidation of steatohepatitis development mechanism.
