Abstract

Background/aims Alterations in hepatobiliary transporters may render fatty livers more vulnerable against various toxic insults.Methods We therefore studied expression and function of key organic anion transporters and their transactivators in 8-week-old obese Zucker rats, an established model for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.Results Compared to their heterozygous littermates, obese animals showed a significant reduction in canalicular bile salt secretion, which was paralleled by significantly diminished Oatp2 mRNA and protein levels together with reduced nuclear HNF3beta, while expression of bile salt export pump, organic anion transporter (Oatp) 1 and multidrug resistance-associated protein (Mrp) 4 were unchanged. Impaired bile salt-independent bile flow in obese rats was associated with a 50% reduction of biliary secretion of the Mrp 2 model-substrates glutathione disulfide and S-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glutathione. In line Mrp2 protein expression was reduced by 50% in obese rats.Conclusions Oatp2 and Mrp2 expression is decreased in fatty liver and may impair metabolism and biliary secretion of numerous xenobiotics. Reduction of bile salt secretion and absence of biliary GSH excretion may contribute to impaired bile flow and posthepatic disorders associated with biliary GSH depletion.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Bile acid toxicity as a result of impaired hepatobiliary excretory function and functional (micro)cholestasis may also be involved in the pathogenesis of NASH.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
