Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate oxidative injury and apoptosis as the mechanisms underlying total parenteral nutrition (TPN)-associated liver dysfunction.Methods: Twenty New Zealand rabbits (2 weeks old) were divided into 2 groups as follows: 10 in the control group (maternal feed) and 10 in the TPN group. The rabbits in the TPN group received continuous PN infusion through a silastic catheter inserted in the right jugular vein.Results: After 10 days of treatment, the scrum levels of total bilirubin and bile acid were significantly higher in the TPN group than in the control group (P < .01, respectively). The light microscopic findings in the TPN rabbits included inflammatory cell infiltration and hepatic steatosis. Electron microscopy showed change in the cytosolic vacuoles and rare microvilli in the microbile duct. Moreover, 10 days of treatment resulted in an inhibition of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in hepatocytes, an increase of the malondialdehyde level, a significant increase in cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, a significant increase in caspase 3 activity, and increased apoptosis (P < .01, individually).Conclusions: Oxidative damage may be one of the essential mechanisms of TPN-associated liver dysfunction. Moreover, mitochondria-initiated apoptosis triggered by oxidative damage may play an important role in this process. (c) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
