Abstract

Objective: High-fat-diet- (HFD-) induced hepatic cell Apoptosis is common in mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aim to investigate the effect of Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1) on hepatocyte Apoptosis.

Methods: C57BL/6J mice with HFD were used to induce a liver-injured model with cell Apoptosis. In addition, GRb1 was used to treat HFD-induced Apoptosis in a liver with or without inhibitor of Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ (PPAR-γ).

Results: Compared with C57BL/6J mice with common chow, there are downregulated PPAR-γ but upregulated cell Apoptosis in the liver of mice with HFD. Furthermore, GRb1 elevated the hepatic PPAR-γ level and suppressed hepatocytic Apoptosis. However, GW9662 abolished the effects of GRb1 on Apoptosis in the liver.

Conclusions: GRb1 alleviated HFD-induced Apoptosis of hepatocytes of mice via PPAR-γ.
