| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously developed diet-induced NASH rat model. In this model, we performed the duodena-jejunal bypass (DJB) as a metabolic surgery and confirmed that NASH of the rat was improved dramatically. In the DJB group, the serum bile acids were elevated and expression of FXR, which is the nuclear receptor of the bile acids, was up-regulated in the liver. FXR is known to regulate the expression of the several enzymes related to metabolism, such as gluconeogenesis or lipogenesis. SREBP1c regulates the expression of the lipogenic enzymes and it is regulated by FXR as well. In this model, the level of SREBP was down-regulated in the DJB model, but not reached to the significant level comparing to the control group. However, we can conclude that NASH can be improved by the DJB and bile acids elevation and following cascade is strongly related to this mechanism.
