Abstract: | Aim The aim of this study was to investigate a possible preconditioning effect of oral diet enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. Methods Wistar male rats were fed a standard diet or polyunsaturated fatty acid-rich diet (PRD) enriched with (GII) or without (GIII) omega-3 PUFA. Rats were submitted to partial liver ischemia during 1 h and evaluated in pre- and post-I/R conditions. In pre-I/R condition, livers were collected for determination of fatty acid composition, liver mitochondrial function, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and histological analysis. Four hours after liver reperfusion serum activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6, interleukin-10, and prostaglandin-E2, liver mitochondrial function, MDA content, and histology were evaluated. Results In the pre-I/R condition, GII and GIII groups had an increase on PUFA content and exhibited slight increased macrosteatosis and microsteatosis in the liver. After 4 h of reperfusion, PRD-fed rats showed a marked decrease on steatosis, diminished necrosis, an increase in MDA formation, and mitochondrial uncoupling. We also observed a marked decrease in plasma levels of cytokines and ALT and AST activities in post-I/R condition in PRD groups. Conclusion In this experimental model in the rat, PRD has a preconditioning effect protecting the liver from I/R injury and should be object of future clinical studies. |
