Protective effect of low dose of ascorbic acid on hepatobiliary function in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion in rats

Seo, Min-Young, Lee, Sun-Mee·2002·Journal of Hepatology

Abstract

Background/aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) an alterations in hepatic secretory and microsomal functions during hepatic ischemia and reperfusion.Methods Rats were subjected to 60 min of hepatic ischemia, and 1 and 5 h of reperfusion. Five minutes prior to ischemia, the animals were administered either vehicle or ascorbic acid (AA) (30, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg) intravenously.Results The serum aminotransferase level and lipid peroxidation were markedly higher as a result of ischemia/reperfusion. These increases were significantly attenuated by AA doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg but were augmented by dose of 1000 mg/kg. Bile flow and cholate output were markedly decreased by ischemia/reperfusion. AA doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg restored but dose of 1000 mg/kg inhibited their secretion. Both the cytochrome P(450) content and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity were decreased by ischemia/reperfusion, which were prevented by AA doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg but were aggravated by dose of 1000 mg/kg. Aniline p-hydroxylase activity was elevated by ischemia/reperfusion, and this was prevented by AA doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg.Conclusions Ischemia/reperfusion diminishes the hepatic secretory and microsomal functions. AA has both antioxidant and pro-oxidant effects, depending upon the dose.

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.
