Long-term Impact of added Glutathione into Parenteral Nutrition Administered During the First week of life on Redox Potential and Energy Metabolism Enzymes in Guinea pig liver Vitor Teixeira1, Thérèse Rouleau1, Guillaume Morin1, Ibrahim Mohamed1, and Jean-Claude Lavoie1 1
Introduction: Peroxides are generated in parenteral nutrition (PN). Infusion of PN or H2O2 in the first week of life of
animals alters later in life their hepatic energy metabolism. Glutathione addition in PN prevented pulmonary oxidative stress induced by PN in newborn guinea pigs (GP).
Hypothesis: Addition of glutathione into PN prevents the long-term impact of PN on activities of key enzymes of energy metabolism (glucokinase (GK), phosphofructokinase (PFK) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC)).
Methods: 4 groups (N=48) of 3-day old GP were used. Control: no manipulation, fed ad libitum all time; PN: animals nourished exclusively with a complete PN via a catheter; PN+ 6 or 12 µM GSSG; GSSG was used as proGSH. After 4 days, hepatic redox potential was measured in half of GP. The other half started oral diet. At 16 weeks of age, liver was collected for determination of GSH, GSSG and potential

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic manifestation of cardio-metabolic syndrome, affects up to 25% of individuals within the USA. NAFLD is a progressive pathology initiating with accumulation of fat within the liver
(hepatic

followed
by
inflammation
(steatohepatitis) and liver fibrosis. Currently, drivers of NAFLD progression are poorly understood. Recently, it was shown that fatty acid-induced metabolic dysregulation of hepatocytes results in succinate release. Hepatic stellate cells, the primary instigators of liver fibrosis, have been shown to be activated by succinate, via GPR91, a putative succinate receptor. Here we show that products of phospholipid oxidation increase succinate levels within bone marrow-derived
macrophages.
