  • An Observation of the Protective Effects of SAdenosylLMethionine on Liver Function in Cirrhotic Rats after Hepatectomy

    ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of SadenosylLmethionine on liver regeneration and liver function in cirrhotic rats after hepatectomy. MethodsCirrhosis was successfully induced by injection of 40% CCl4.Then,partial hepatectomy (about 30%) was performed in all rats. Cirrhotic rats were divided into 3 groups,namely,cirrhotic group (normal saline 5 ml/d,for 15 postoperative days,n=20),treatment group 1 〔S adenosylLmethionine 10 mg/(kg·d),for 15 postoperative days,n=16〕 and treatment group 2 〔SadenosylL methionine 20 mg/(kg·d),15 postoperative days,n=16〕,and normal control group was also established. Animals were sacrificed at the 15th postoperative day and 30th postoperative day to take samples for detection of liver function (Alb,ALT,TB,TBA) and serum TNFα.Liver tissues were also observed under light microscope and electron microscope. ResultsIn two treatment groups,at the time point (15 postoperative days or 30 postoperative days),concentrations of ALT,TB,TBA,Alb and TNFα were decreased significantly as compared with cirrhotic group (P <0.01),and concentration of Alb was increased significantly (P<0.01).In contrast, there were no obvious difference in the same time point of different dosetreatment groups (Pgt;0.05),but the decrease of ALT,TB,TBA,TNFα and the increase of Alb were more significant at the second time point (30th postoperative day) than the first time point (15th postoperative day) when treated with same dose (P<0.01).At the same time,concentration between TNF α and ALT,TB,TBA showed a positive correlation (P<0.01),and the concentration between TNFα and Alb showed a negative correlation (P<0.01).In addition, the histopathology showed SadenosylLmethionine had effects of protecting liver function and enhancing liver regeneration. ConclusionThe study suggests that SadenosylL methionine has the efficacy of enhancing liver regeneration and improving liver function.
