Abstract

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most widespread chronic liver diseases, caused by the development of insulin resistance. One of the mechanisms involved is a disturbance in insulin signaling by certain toxic substances that interact with one of the proteins responsible for the insulin signaling pathway. Increased homocysteine level, upon disruption of the methionine pathway, is associated with insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperhomocysteinemia and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR level) induced by dietary vitamin B12 restriction on liver steatosis. Methods A study of laboratory experimental design was conducted involving 18 male Sprague Dawley rats (age 36-40 weeks, BW 300-350 g), that were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, 8-week treatment, and 16-week treatment. Standard AIN-93 diet was administered to the control group, whereas rats in the treatment groups were fed vitamin B12 deficiency-AIN-93M. At the end of treatment, liver homocysteine levels were determined by ELISA, HOMA-IR values were calculated, and steatosis degree of the liver was determined histologically. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-test. Results A significant increase in liver homocysteine levels was found between the control and both the 8- and 16-week treatment groups (p<0.001). HOMA-IR levels were significantly higher in both treatment groups compared to controls (p<0.001). The area of liver steatosis in both treatment groups was significantly larger than that of the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion Increased homocysteine levels due to dietary vitamin B12 deficiency induces liver steatosis due to insulin resistance in rats.

Abstract

In recent years, the prevalence of obesity continues to increase, leading to a public health problem. Therefore, the obesity problem needs serious attention and treatment approaches. Exercise is one of the treatment approach to combat obesity because exercise plays a role in beiging/browning process. Beiging is a differentiation process from white adipocyte to beige adipocyte, which has similar characteristics to brown adipocyte and is marked with an increase of UCP-1 expression. Irisin plays a role in increasing UCP-1 expression by activating p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. Muscle contraction during exercise can activate PGC-1α, which leads to the synthesis of irisin. Exercise may increase irisin levels in skeletal muscle and consequently, play as a mediator of beiging process in adipose tissue.

Abstract

Pada penelitian awal didapatkan diet restriksi vitamin B12 menyebabkan hiperhomosisteinemia dan resistensi insulin, yang ditandai oleh hiperglikemia dan meningkatnya nilai Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR). Dengan menggunakan sampel jaringan biologik tersimpan, hati tikus Spraque-Dawley dari penelitian tersebut, penelitian lanjutan ini bertujuan mengetahui penyebab hiperglikemia, dalam hubungannya dengan proses glukoneogenesis, dengan melihat ekspresi forkhead box protein-O1 (FoxO1) dan gen glukosa 6 fosfatase (G6Pc). Adapun sampel terdiri dari 4 kelompok: kelompok kontrol dan tiga kelompok dengan diet restriksi vitamin B12 masing-masing selama 4, 8, dan 12 minggu. Ekspresi FoxO1 diperiksa dengan metode kuantitatif Western-Blot, sedangkan gen G6Pc diperiksa dengan metode real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (rt-PCR). Hasil yang diperoleh, tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna ekspresi FoxO1 (P > 0,05) dan gen G6Pc (P > 0,05) antara kelompok tikus kontrol dan kelompok diet restriksi vitamin B12. Hal ini menunjukkan, hiperglikemia pada diet restriksi vitamin B12 tidak terkait dengan glukoneogenesis. Pada kondisi resistensi insulin, insulin masih dapat meneruskan efek metaboliknya melalui jalur lain, seperti melalui reseptor yang memiliki kemiripan struktur dan fungsi dengan reseptor insu   lin. Penyebab-penyebab lain terjadinya hiperglikemia seperti gangguan utilisasi glukosa oleh sel dan gangguan proses glikogenesis perlu diteliti lebih lanjut.
