【 摘 要 】
References(32)Cited-By(5)Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone which induces the peroxisome proliferation in rodents. The fatty liver induced by orotic acid and a high sucrose diet in male rats was prevented by the administration of DHEA and/or phenobarbital (PB). A significant increase in the liver weight was induced in the DHEA group (relative weight) and the DHEA + PB group (absolute and relative weight). The liver weight increased more conspicuously in the DHEA + PB group than in the DHEA group. The increase in the liver weight was caused by an increase in the cell size and peroxisome number. In addition, the administration of DHEA alone and the combination of DHEA and PB prevented the lipid droplet accumulation in hepatocytes. The administration of PB alone also prevented the accumulation of lipid droplets without any increase in the liver weight.
