Abstract:
Objective
To explore the application of posthepatectomy enteral nutrition (EN)with cholic acid in cirrhotic rats.
Methods
Six normal rats severed as normal group, twenty-four rats with liver cirrhosis were randomly divided into pre-operation group(n=6),post-operation 1 day group(n=6),post-operation EN without cholic acid 5 day group (n=6),post-operation EN with cholic acid 5 day group (n=6).Liver function,inflammatory responses,lipid peroxidation,expression of ALB mRNA in the liver tissue,expression of liver Ki67 protein were detected.
Results
Compared with the EN without cholic acid 5 day group,serum AST,ALT and ALP were lower(P<0.05), serum ALB and IGF-1 were higher (P<0.05), serum IFN-γ, TNF-α and MDA content were lower(P<0.05),serum SOD was higher (P<0.05),expression of ALB mRNA in the liver tissue was higher (P<0.05),expression of liver Ki67 protein was higher(P<0.05)in the EN with cholic acid 5 day group.
Conclusion
Posthepatectomy enteral nutrition with cholic acid in cirrhotic rats can speed up liver function recovery,reduce inflammatory responses and lipid peroxidation damage,promote liver protein synthesis and liver regeneration.
