  The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) increases the cardiovascular risk regardless of risk factors in metabolic syndrome. The stroke-prone (SP) spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP5/Dmcr), fed a high-fat and -cholesterol (HFC) diet and administered Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME) presented NASH and cardiovascular disease. However, the intermediary factors between NASH and cardiovascular risk are still unknown. We investigated whether bile acids (BAs) play an intermediary role between NASH and cardiovascular disease in SHRSP5/Dmcr rats. SHRSP5/Dmcr rats divided into 2 groups were fed an SP (non-NASH group, n=7) or HFC diet (NASH group, n=10) for 8 weeks. L-NAME was administered intraperitoneally in the final 2 weeks. In the NASH group, total BA levels were increased in both serum and liver; they aggravated the endothelial dysfunction in aorta, which i.. View More»
