Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effects of two kinds of enteral nutrition preparations on liver regeneration and function in mice after partial hepatectomy (PH).
METHODS: A mouse model of oral enteral nutrition (EN) after 70%PH was used in this study. Seventy-two male ICR mice were randomly divided into a PH control group (routine diet after PH), a TP-MCT group (EN with TP-MCT after PH) and a SP group (EN with Peptisorb after PH). Serum samples and liver tissue specimens were collected 1, 3 and 7 d after PH. Serum samples were used to measure the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), albumin, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10. The liver tissue specimens were used to measure the proliferation of hepatocytes and the morphology of liver tissue by immunohistostaining and HE staining.
RESULTS: In comparison with the PH control group, serum levels of ALT and AST on days 1, 3 and 7 decreased significantly in the TP-MCT group and SP group (P < 0.05 for all). Compared with the PH control group, the level of IL-6 on day 1 decreased significantly in the TP-MCT group and SP group, but the level of IL-10 increased significantly in the TP-MCT group and SP group (P < 0.05 for all). Liver regeneration was enhanced significantly on days 1, 3 and 7 in the TP-MCT group and SP group, especially in the SP group.
CONCLUSION: Enteral nutrition can well protect mouse liver function and promote liver regeneration after PH, with SP (Peptisorb) having a better effect.
