AIM: To study the effect of sesamin on expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS)and nitrotyrosine(NT)in rat liver tissue with metabolic syndromic hepatic steatosis. METHODS: The rat model of metabolic syndromic hepatic steatosis was induced by operation of two kidneys with one clip(2K1C)and high-fat. The rats taken from that successful model were randomly divided into model group and sesamin(120, 60, and 30 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1))groups. In addition, the sham-operated group was set up. The rats in treated group were given sesamin intragastrically everyday for 8 weeks. The levels of blood lipids(TC, TG and FFA)in serum were detected. The activity of SOD and MDA level in the liver homogenate were determined. The expressions of iNOS and NT proteins were detected by Western blotting analysis. The histopathological changes were observed by HE staining in the liver tissues. RESULTS: Compared to model groups, sesamin(120, 60 mg·kg~(-1))significantly inhibited the elevation of serum TC, TG, FFA, and MDA in liver homogenate(P<0.05), and increased the activity of SOD(P<0.05). It also decreased the protein expression of iNOS and NT(P<0.05), and ameliorated the degree of hepatic steatosis. CONCLUSION: Sesamin prevents and cures the metabolic syndromic hepatic steatosis. The mechanism is probably mediated through decreasing the protein expression of iNOS and NT, and alleviating the oxidative stress in addition to regulating the lipid metabolism.

Then selenium (Se), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), malondiaoldehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in blood and liver were measured. RESULTS: The level of Se, GPx and SOD activities were obviously higher ( P

Aim To investigate the difference of aortic function between renal hypertension rat(2K1C) and renal hypertensive-hyperlipidemia rat(RHHR).Methods Animals were divided into 3 groups: the sham-operated group,RHHR and 2K1C model groups.The vascular function test was performed in vitro.The response of aortic ring to phenylephrine(PE),acetylcholine(ACh) and sodium nitroprusside(SNP) was measured.Then aortic ring was incubated with nitricoxide synthase inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester(L-NAME) and its response to Ach was observed.Results The contraction in response to PE was augmented in the two model groups.ACh-induced vasorelaxation was reduced in both model groups,and such relaxation was more depressed in RHHR than that in 2K1C.The ability of relaxation evoked by NO was impaired in two model groups.SNP elicited complete relaxation in three groups,but the sensitivity to SNP was more decreased in RHHR than those in sham-operated and 2K1C groups.Conclusion These findings suggest that the vasodilation function of aorta is more impaired in RHHR than that in 2K1C group.The decrease in utilization of vascular smooth muscle to NO induced by hyperlipidemia may contribute to the main cause.
