A "two-hit" model for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been proposed in which steatosis constitutes the "first hit" and sensitizes the liver to potential "second hits" resulting in NASH. Oxidative stress is considered a candidate for the "second hit". N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, has been suggested as a dietary therapy for NASH. We examined effects of NAC in a rat total enteral nutrition (TEN) model where NASH develops as the result of overfeeding dietary polyunsaturated fat. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed pelleted AIN-93G diets ad libitum or were overfed a 9200 kJ˙ kg−0.75˙d−1 liquid diet containing 70% corn oil with or without 2 g˙ kg−1˙d−1 NAC intragastrically for 65 d. Hepatic steatosis was not influenced by dietary supplementation with NAC; however, the liver pathology score was significantly lower (p≤0.05) and NAC provided partial protection against alanine aminotransferase release (p≤0.05). NAC attenuated increased hepatic oxidative stress (TBARS; p≤0.05); prevented increases in cytochrome P450 2E1 apoprotein and mRNA; and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) mRNA. A decrease in titers of auto-antibodies against proteins adducted to lipid peroxidation products was observed in the NAC group relative to the 70% corn oil group (p≤0.05). NAC also decreased Picosirius red staining of collagen, a marker of fibrosis. However, markers of hepatic stellate cell activation were unaffected. Using NAC in a TEN model of NASH we have demonstrated that NAC prevents many aspects of NASH progression by decreasing development of oxidative stress and subsequent increases in TNF-α, but is unable to block development of steatosis.
