Research Abstract

In liver of splenectomy-treated diet induced obese rats, the expression of the proinflammatory cytokines induced and the oxystress-induced markers, 8-oxoG and 4-HNE, increased significantly. At 6 months after splenectomy, fibrotic changes were observed in the liver of rats. This result indicates that the loss of spleen contributes to the progression of hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis in obese rats. These splenectomy-induced changes were inhibited by systemic administration of IL-10. We demonstrated that the spleen-derived IL-10 has a key molecule for the progression of hepatic steatosis to steatohepatitis.
