Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is recognized globally as the leading cause of chronic liver diseases whose patients are asymptomatic and are diagnosed incidentally. It increases the rate of mortality which is usually related to cardiovascular events; however, scarce attention has been addressed to brain damage. This study was designed to investigate the impact of melatonin (MEL; 10 mg/kg) on overcoming the hepato and neuro-complications associated with high fat, high fructose (HFHF) diet induced-NAFLD in rats. NAFLD was induced by HFHF diet for 8 consecutive weeks. MEL was given orally for the last 10 days. Rats' general behavior was assessed by; open field test (OFT) and forced swimming test (FST). On biochemical level; serum levels of glucose, insulin, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase as well as the hepatic levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol were evaluated. Monoamines' brain levels, their metabolites in addition to the brain level of 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were evaluated. Moreover, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (NOx) were measured in both the liver and brain tissues. Oral treatment of NAFLD induced rats ...Continue Reading
