Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of total glucosides from Paeoniae Radix Alba(TGP) on high mobility group protein 1(HMGB1)
Toll like receptor 4(TLR4) signal pathway in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) rats induced by high fat and fructose feed. Method: high fat and high fructose diet was used to establish NAFLD rat models. All the rats except those in normal group were randomly divided into model group
silymarin group (200 mg·kg-1·d-1)
metformin group (200 mg·kg-1·d-1)
TGP high and low dose groups (200
100 mg·kg-1·d-1). Rats were observed after 6 weeks of treatment
including fasting blood glucose (FBG)
2 hour postprandial blood glucose (2 hBG)
insulin (Fins)
cholesterol (TC)
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)
high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)
triglyceride (TG)
free fatty acid (FFA)
alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and liver index. In addition
HMGB1 and TLR4 protein expression levels in liver tissues were detected by Western blot. Result: The aminotransferase
liver index
blood lipid
2 hBG
insulin
HOMA-IR and TLR4
HMGB1 protein in model group were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.05
P<0.01). As compared with the model group
2 hBG
Fins
HOMA-IR
LDL-C
TC
TG
FFA
ALT and AST levels were significantly lower in both TGP high dose and low dose groups (P<0.05
P<0.05). Both high dose and low dose TGP showed significant effects in antagonizing insulin resistance
lipid-lowering
glucose-lowering
and improving liver function
and could down-regulate HMGB1/TLR4 protein expression levels (P<0.01). Conclusion: In the course of NAFLD progression
HMGB1
TLR4 is one of the pathways leading to inflammation
and TGP plays a role in inhibiting the development of NAFLD in rats by down regulating the expression of HMGB1
