Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of trace element strontium on the improvement of rat lipid metabolism disor‐der ,prevention and treatment effects on non‐alcoholic fatty acid liver disease (NAFLD) and its possible mechanism .Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups .The control group used the common fodder and the other four groups adopted the high fat fodder for 13‐week feeding .During the final 9 weeks ,the strontium 18 mg/L group and the strontium 36 mg/L group were sepa‐rately fed with 18 mg/L and 36 mg/L of strontium water .During the final 4 weeks ,the simvastatin group was gavaged with simvas‐tatin 10 mg/kg .The rats were killed at the end of 14 weeks and the liver index ,serum ALT ,AST ,TG ,TC ,LDL‐C and HDL‐C ,and liver TG ,TC levels were measured .The liver tissue frozen section was performed .The fatty change and its distribution were ob‐served by oil red O staining .Results Compared with the control group ,the liver indexc ,liver TG and TC levels ,serum TC and LDL‐C in the NAFLD model group were statistically increased (P<0 .05);compared with the NAFLD model group ,the levels of serum TC and LDL‐C in the strontium 18 mg/L group were decreased ,but serum HDL‐C was also decreased(P<0 .05);in liver in‐dex ,liver TC and TG levels ,serum TC and LDL‐C in the strontium 36 mg/L group were decreased(P<0 .05) .The oil red O stai‐ning showed that the liver tissue in the NAFLD model group contained a large amount of red staining fat particles ;but which in the strontium 18 mg/L group ,strontium 36 mg/L group and the simvastatin group were decreased to some extents .Conclusion The long term high concentration trace element strontium intake has the effect for improving the rat lipid metabolic disorder and preven‐ting and treating NAFLD .
