Abstract
Objective: To evaluate whether upregulation of liver and muscle uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) is an acute phenomenon in obstructive jaundice and associated with secondary metabolic effects. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups bile duct ligated (BDL) and sham-operated pair-fed (PF), ad libitum fed (AL), and controls BDL. PF. and AL rats were further divided into subgroups according to the interval postoperatively when they were reanesthetized and sampled for tissue and blood 2, 4, and 8 d, respectively Bilirubin, liver enzymes. glucose, free fatty acids, and insulin in blood plasma were analyzed Liver and muscle tissue were sampled for UCP-2 and adenosine triphosphate analysis. Results: The BDL rats showed an... (More)

Results: The BDL rats showed an increase of the liver UCP-2 expression compared with PF and AL rats (P < 0 05) 4 d postoperatively. Liver adenosine triphosphate in BDL rats showed a decrease compared with sham-operated controls at all intervals < 0 05) Plasma glucose concentration in BDL rats was decreased compared with the other groups. Free fatty acids showed an initial increase 2 d postoperatively compared with sham-operated controls and PF and AL rats (P < 0 05) at the corresponding time point Conclusion: Obstructive jaundice is associated with an early upregulation of liver UCP-2. reduced liver adenosine triphosphate content, and decreased plasma glucose concentration, supporting the hypothesis that obstructive Jaundice results in impaired energy homeostasis in the liver. which might cause decreased glucose output and hypoglycemia as a consequence (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
