Fatty liver is common in men and post-menopausal women, suggesting that estrogen may be involved in liver lipid metabolism. The aim of this study is to be clear the role of estrogen and estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha) in fat accumulation during liver regeneration using the 70% partial hepatectomy (PHX) model in male, female, ovariectomized (OVX) and E-2-treated OVX (OVX-E-2) rats. Liver tissues were sampled at 0-48 hr after PHX and fat accumulation, fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36), sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP1c), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha(PPAR alpha), proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and ER alpha were examined by Oil Red O, qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Hepatic fat accumulation was abundant in female and OVX-E-2 compared to male and OVX rats. FAT/CD36 expression was observed in female, OVX and OVX-E-2 at 0-12 hr after PHX, but not in male rats. At 0 hr, SREBP1c and PPAR alpha were elevated in female and male rats, respectively, but were decreased after PHX in all rats. The PCNA labeling index reached a maximum at 36 hr and 48 hr in OVX-E-2 and OVX rats, respectively. ER alpha expression in OVX-E-2 was higher than OVX at 0-36 hr after PHX. In conclusion, these results indicated that estrogen and ERa might play an important role in fat accumulation related to FAT/CD36 during early phase of rat liver regeneration.
