摘要
脂肪肝主要是由于肝脏摄入、合成脂肪与其分泌、氧化分解之
间失衡 引起中性脂肪(主要为甘油三酯)在肝内积聚所致。目前,
国内外尚无理想的针对脂肪肝的特效治疗药物。甲壳素(chitin),是
从动物甲壳中提取的一类线性高分子多糖,其脱乙酰化产物—壳聚糖
具有多种药理作用,动物实验表明壳聚糖能有效地降低血胆固醇。此
外,许多中药如何首乌、丹参、牛膝、泽泻等亦均有良好的降脂作用。
我们在以前的研究中,用壳聚糖合并中药何首乌、丹参、牛膝预防
大鼠脂肪肝取得了一定的效果,但其治疗作用如何尚未探讨,
且预防组大鼠肝脂质含量与正常组相比有一定的差异。据文献报道中
药决明子和泽泻有明显的降脂作用,故我们设想在原药的基础上添加
决明子和泽泻,可能在治疗实验中会起到更好的治疗脂肪肝的作用。
本实验通过建立大鼠脂肪肝模型,研究了原药(治疗药物1)及在其
基础上添加决明子和泽泻后的药物(治疗药物2)对脂肪肝的治疗作
用及其机理,以筛选更有效的治疗脂肪肝的药物,为临床治疗脂肪肝
提供理论依据。

Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, may occur in a variety of situations in
which lipid uptake or synthesis overwhelms the capacity of the liver to
oxidate and secrete them, leading to their accumulation. Triglyceride is the
main lipid found in most cases of fatty livers. Chitin, a kind of linear
macromolecular aminopolysaccharide prepared from the exoskeletons of
crabs and shrimps, has many pharmacological effects. Previous studies
have indicated that chitosan, the partly deacetylated derivative of chitin, can
prevent the experimental hypercholesterolemia of rat. In addition,
traditional Chinese medicines such as Polygonum multifiorum
Thumb.,Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge., and Achyranthes bidentata BL. have
satisfactoiy effect on treating fatty liver. Our previous study identified that
cbitosan and traditional Chinese medicines including Polygonum
multiflorum Thumb.,Salvia miltionhiza Bge. and Achyranthes bidentata
BL.(drug 1) had a remarkable effect on preventing fatty liver, but its effect
on treating fatty liver had not been studied yet . It was reported that Cassia
obtasifolia L. and Alisma plantago L. had favorable effect on reducing liver
lipid accumulation. So Cassia obtasifolia L. and Alisma plantago L. were
added to the above-mentioned drug (drug 2) to strengthen its function of
inhibiting the lipid deposition in liver. In this study, we investigated the
effect and mechanism of drug 1 and drug 2 on rat fatty liver in order to
search for a drug treating fatty liver effectively.
Male Rats were treated with a low dose of carbon tetrachloride (CC14)
and fed a high fat diet to produce fatty liver. Then, the therapeutic groups
were treated with drug 1 and drug 2. The concentrations of triglyceride
(TG), total cholesterol (TC) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were
detected and the mohology changes of hepatocyte were evaluated to
assess the therapeutic effect The results demonstrated that the combining
use of CCLI and high-fat diet induced the contents of TG, TC in liver to
increase significantly. Pathological examinations showed that swelling
hepatocytes were filled with lipid droplets in model group while the treated
group displayed a slight seeatosis and a lower TG, TC contents compared
with the model group. Among the treated group the effect of drug 2 was
more effective. Moreover, drug 2 also made the ALT activity decrease.
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of
the nuclear steroid hormone receptor superfamily activated by structurally
diverse chemicals referred to as peroxisome proliferators such as fatty acids
and fibrate lipid-lowering drugs. Studies over the past few years have
shown that the a -isoform of the receptors , PPAR a, is a key regulator of
lipid homeostasis. It is established that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and
free fatty acids (FFAs) play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of fatty liver.
Studies recently identified that the mRNA for PPAR a was significantly
reduced by TNF a treatment. In addition, the level of PPAR a protein
was also decreased after TNF a treatment. This effect may have important
implications in perturbation of the lipid metabolism induced by TNTF a.
Studies also found that deletion of PPAR a gene leads to a remarkable
decrease in FFAs uptake. Consequently, we hypothesize that PPAR a
involves in the pathogenesis of fatty liver. To explore the molecular
mechanism of chitosan and traditional Chinese medicines in treating fatty
liver, hepatocyte PPAR a expression was analyzed and the concentrations
