BACKGROUND<br />Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a chronic liver disease associated with increased free fatty acids, trans fatty acids and free radical compounds due to the consumption of deep frying oil (DFO). Ginger has hypolipidemic and antioxidant properties, and acts as an insulin sensitizer. The present study was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of an ethanol extract of Zingiber officinale Roxb var rubrum (EEZO) in DFO-fed male Wistar rats.<br /><br />METHODS<br />A study of experimental design was conducted involving 24 non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) male Wistar rats that were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group K1 (control) was given DFO-3 (3 times heated DFO) at a dose of 10 ìl/g BW/day. The treatment groups (P1, P2, P3) were given DFO-3 and red ginger rhizome extract at doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW orally for 30 days. The histopathology examination assessed fatty degeneration, and degree of fibrosis. The data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-whitney test.<br /><br />RESULTS    <br />The Kruskal-Wallis test showed that fatty degeneration (steatosis, lobular inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and NASH) were significantly different among the four groups (p&lt;0.05). Mann-Whitney test proved that fatty degeneration was not significantly different between control and treatment groups (p&gt;0.05).<br /><br />CONCLUSION<br />Deep frying oil increased fatty degeneration and NASH, and none of red ginger rhizome extract doses was able to inhibit fatty degeneration significantly. For the future research it is intended to prolong the induction time and the administration of red ginger rhizome extract.

Abstract Background Mitophagy is the optional decadence of mitochondria by autophagy and mostly happens to defective mitochondria following damage or stress. Several studies indicated that mitophagy may offer protection against myocyte death induced by cardiac ischemia. On the other hand, the activation of caspase can lead to programmed cell death such as apoptosis and necrosis. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of aerobic exercise and octopamine on cardiomyocytes proliferation and mitophagy and also changes in caspase 3 and pro-caspase 3 expression of rat exposed deep frying oil. Methods 30 mail wistar rats were divided into 5 groups (n=6 in each) including 1) control (CO), 2) deep frying oil (DFO), 3) deep frying oil + exercise (DFO+EXE), 4) deep frying oil + octopamine (DFO+OCT), and 5) deep frying oil + exercise + octopamine (DFO+EXE+OCT). The apoptotic effects of DFO in heart tissue were examined by TUNEL assay. Masson's trichrome stain used to study cardiomyocytic fibers. Moreover, caspase 3 and pro-caspase 3 genes and proteins expression in all groups was evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot method, respectively. Results Data showed a significant increase in apoptotic cells in the DFO-treated group (P<0.05). In Masson's Trichrome stainanalysis demonstrated more cardiomyocytic fibers degradation and aggregation lymphocytic cells in DFO that exercise and OCT signisicantly improve this degradation. Also, the expression level of caspase 3 and pro-caspase 3 was significantly decrease in deep frying oil + exercise + octopamine group (P<0.05). Conclusions According to the result of the current study, it can be assumed that DFO can lead to programmed cell death via the activation of caspase in heart tissue. However it seems that aerobic exercise with octopamine supplementation improve heart tissue by significantly decrease expression of caspase 3 and pro-caspase 3 that inhibit apoptosis.
