Objective Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is characterized by diffuse fatty infiltration in the liver and ballooning degeneration and inflammation in hepatocytes. We aimed to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of Silybin Meglumine Tablets, Stronger Neu-Minophagen C, Huganning Pian on rat model of NASH. Methods After one week of a standard diet eighty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal control group (n=10) and the experimental group (n=72). The normal control group rats were fed with a standard diet, while those of the experimental group with a high-fat diet. After ten weeks nine rats were sacrificed to verify whether the model was established successfully. Then the experimental group was randomly subdivided into thirteen groups: Group Z1 (n=5) with a high-fat diet and gastric with saline , Group Z2 (n=4) with a high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injected with saline , Group Y1 ( n=5) with a standard diet and gastric with saline, Group Y2 ( n=5) with a standard diet and intraperitoneal injected with saline, Group A1 (n=5), Group A2 (n=5) and Group A3 (n=5) with a standard diet and gastrically infused with the solution of Silybin Meglumine Tablets of high-dosage, middle-dosage and low-dosage respectively, Group B1 (n=6), Group B2 (n=5) and Group B3 (n=5) with a standard diet and intraperitoneal injected with the injection of Stronger Neu-Minophagen C of high-dosage, middle-dosage and low-dosage respectively , Group 1 (n=5), Group C2 (n=5) and Group C3 (n=5) with a standard diet and gastrically infused with the solution of Huganning Pian of high-dosage, middle-dosage and low-dosage respectively. Four weeks later, all rats were sacrificed. Blood samples were collected to measure serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC), glucose (GLU), free fatty acid (FFA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Liver tissue samples were duly taken for histopathological examination and measurement of tissue TC, TG, LDLC,HDLC and MDA levels. Results 1. At the end of the week 11 there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the hepatic index, the levels of serum AST, TC, TG, LDLC, GLU,SOD,MDA , the levels of liver tissue TC, TQ MDA, and the histological changes of liver injury between the experimental group and the normal control group. 2. At the end of the week 16, for the drug of Silybin Meglumine Tablets (drug A) (P<0.05) , visceral adiposity ratio, serum AST and TC levels were higher in Group Y1 than in Group A1. Liver tissue TC and LDLC levels were also higher in Group Y1 compared to Group A2. A significant reduction was observed in Group A1, Group A2 and Group A3 in the hepatic steatosis, the grade of inflammation and the stage of fibrosis compared to Group Y1 and Group Z1. 3. For the drug of Stronger Neu-Minophagen C (drug B) (P<0.05) , visceral adiposity ratio and serum TG levels were higher in Group Y2 than in Group B2. There were low levels of serum ALT, AST and liver tissue TC in Group B1 compared to Group Y2. There were low levels of serum ALT and liver tissue TC in Group B3 compared to Group Y2. A significant increase was found in the serum SOD levels in Group B1 compared to Group Y2. Liver tissue TC and LDLC levels were higher in Group Y2 compared to Group B3. A significant reduction was observed in Group B1 in the hepatic steatosis, the grade of inflammation and the stage of fibrosis compared to Group Y2 and Group Z2. 4. For the drug of Huganning Pian (drug C) (P<0.05) , there were low levels of visceral adiposity ratio in Group C2 and Group C3 compared to Group Y1. There were low levels of serum AST, TC , GLU and liver tissue TC in Group C1 compared to Group Y1. A significant increase was found in the serum SOD levels in Group C1 compared to Group Y1. A significant reduction was observed in Group C1 in the hepatic steatosis, the grade of inflammation and the stage of fibrosis compared to Group Y1 and Group Z1. 5. When made a comparation among the Group of drug A, drug B and drug C (P<0.05) , we found that the levels of serum ALT, AST and TG were lower in the Group of drug B than in the Group of drug C. There were low levels of serum TC and liver tissue MDA in the Group of drug A compared to the Group of drug C and drug B. The levels of serum LDLC were higher in the Group of drug C than in the Group of drug A. But there was no significant difference in the histological changes of liver injury among these three groups. 6. Meanwhile compared the therapy group changing a high-fat diet into a standard diet for four weeks with the experimental group continuing fed with a high-fat diet (P<0.05 ) , we found that there was a significant difference in the hepatic index, the levels of serum AST, ALP,TC, TG, LDLC, MDA , the levels of liver tissue MDA between these two Group. But there was no significant difference in the histological changes of liver injury between the experimental group and the therapy group. Conclusion We conclude that Silybin Meglumine Tablets, Stronger Neu-Minophagen C, Huganning Pian seem to be effective in attenuating hepatic damage by regulation lipid metabolism and decreasing hepatic inflammation and lipid peroxidation in the NASH model induced by a high-fat diet. They may become potential drugs for NASH treatment in the future. Keywords: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis; a high-fat diet; Silybin Meglumine Tablets; Stronger Neu-Minophagen C; Huganning Pian; rat.
