Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) reverse malnutrition andl-carnitine leads to the reduction of hyperammonemia and muscle cramps in cirrhotic patients. BCAA andl-carnitine are involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism, however their mechanistic activity in cirrhotic liver is not fully understood. We aim to define the molecular mechanism(s) and combined effects of BCAA andl-carnitine using a cirrhotic rat model. Rats were administered carbon tetrachloride for 10 weeks to induce cirrhosis. During the last 6 weeks of administration, cirrhotic rats received BCAA,l-carnitine or a combination of BCAA andl-carnitine daily via gavage. We found that BCAA andl-carnitine treatments significantly improved hepatocellular function associated with reduced triglyceride level, lipid deposition and adipophilin expression, in cirrhotic liver. Lipidomic analysis revealed dynamic changes in hepatic lipid composition by BCAA andl-carnitine administrations. BCAA andl-carnitine globally increased molecular species of phosphatidylcholine. Liver triacylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides were significantly decreased by BCAA andl-carnitine. Furthermore, serum and liver ATP levels were significantly increased in all treatments, which were attributed to the elevation of mature cardiolipins and mitochondrial component gene expressions. Finally, BCAA andl-carnitine dramatically reduced hepatocellular death. In conclusion, BCAA andl-carnitine treatments attenuate hepatocellular damage through the reduction of lipid peroxides and the overall maintenance of mitochondrial integrity within the cirrhotic liver. These effectiveness of BCAA andl-carnitine support the therapeutic strategies in human chronic liver diseases.
