Elevated hepatic oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation levels caused by increased hepatic Cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme activity has been speculated to play a role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). But studies of lipid peroxidation and CYP2E1 in children are lacking. To compare hepatic lipid peroxidation and hepatic CYP2E1 protein content in liver biopsies from children with NAFLD and two control groups. Liver biopsies from 59 children with NAFLD (49 with NASH), 10 children with normal liver histology, and 9 children with chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV) were examined. Hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA, a measure of lipid peroxidation) levels and CYP2E1 protein content were quantitated, as a percent of total area, by immunohistochemical staining of liver biopsy material followed by digital image quantitation. Lipid peroxidation was significantly greater in NAFLD liver biopsies (46.7 ± 20.8%) compared to liver biopsies from children with normal liver histology (7.6 ± 9.4%; p<0.001) or HCV (7.7 ± 7.6%; p<0.001). However, hepatic CYP2E1 was not higher in NAFLD biopsies compared to other groups (p=). Among children with NAFLD, lipid peroxidation and CYP2E1 protein content were not different between biopsies with and without NASH. The BMI was independently associated with hepatic lipid peroxidation (r=0.549; p<0.001). Hepatic lipid peroxidation is increased in children with NAFLD but this is not related to hepatic CYP2E1. Lack of difference in lipid peroxidation among different NAFLD subgroups argues against its role in the disease progression.
