High-fat diet-induced liver injury in Channa argus through lipid metabolism, anti-oxidative status, apoptosis, and inflammation by Jiaxin Tian, Ying Li, Jiwu Wan, Zhinan Yang, Guiqin Wang

“…Anti-oxidative status-related biochemical parameters were determined; the malondialdehyde level was increased, and anti-oxidative indices (including catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, glutathione-S-transferase, and total antioxidant capacity) were decreased in the L22 group, which also induced DNA damage and inhibited the expression levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway-related antioxidant genes to suppress antioxidant ability. At 90 days, the L22 group exhibited a significant upregulation of mRNA expression levels for liver inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-8, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). …”
