Essential oil components of turmeric inhibit hepatic lipidification and liver fibrosis in a diet-induced NASH model rats

Abstract In this study, the fraction extracted from turmeric powder with 50% ethanol and fractionated with n-hexane were administered to diet-induced NASH model rats. NASH model was prepared with SD rats by feeding an originally designed choline-deficient, high-fat, high-fructose (HFF-CD) diet for 1...

description Abstract In this study, the fraction extracted from turmeric powder with 50% ethanol and fractionated with n-hexane were administered to diet-induced NASH model rats. NASH model was prepared with SD rats by feeding an originally designed choline-deficient, high-fat, high-fructose (HFF-CD) diet for 10 weeks. To the HFF-CD diet, hexane fraction and 50% ethanol fraction after hexane fractionation were added at 100 mg/kg body weight. 10 weeks later, blood samples and liver were collected for the following parameters: lipid weights, serum ALT, AST, TG, liver TG, TBARS levels, lipid metabolism-related gene expression and histopathological examination of the liver. As the results, the hexane fraction and 50% ethanol fraction showed a decrease in lipid weight, a decrease in hepatic TG, and activation of PPAR-α in the lipid metabolism-related gene test. These results suggest that the hexane fraction of turmeric has an inhibitory effect on fat accumulation in the liver by promoting lipid metabolism in NASH model rats.
