Abstract
|
|
|
|
Male mice (ddY strain) were fed a laboratory chow diet containing 10% sucrose supplemented with orotic acid, hesperetin or naringenin at the 1% level for 14 days. the concentrations of liver triacylglycerol and cholesterol were significantly lower in the OA group than in the control group. When both flavonoids and orotic acid were administered simultaneously, the orotic acid-dependent decrease in liver triacylglycerol and cholesterol were attenuated slightly. The concentration of serum cholesterol in the orotic acid group or the control group was lower than in the orotic acid groups supplemented with hesperetin or naringenin. There were no significantly difference in body weight gain, diary food intake, and the serum concentrations of triacylglycerol and high-density-lipoprotein cholestrol. It was concluded that the inducement of fatty liver in mice failed to feeding a laboratory chow diet containing 10% sucrose supplemented with 1% orotic acid for 14 days.
