METHODSLeprdb/db mice were fed either a 71% high-fat diet (61% unsaturated fat) or normal chow
for 8 weeks.A subset of mice on both diets were administered a single dose of 1.25 mg/g wt Fe-
dextran by IP injection at the start of the study. Histological features of NASH and iron deposition were scored using NASH CRN
scoring criteria. Malondialdehyde (MDA), iron and hydroxyproline were assessed in liver tissue. Liver and adipose tissue were collected for expression of proinflammatory, lipid and
oxidative stress genes, determined by RT-PCR, normalized to GAPDH mRNA

BACKGROUNDIron is thought to contribute to NAFLD progression by increasing oxidative stress as a catalyst for the production of reactive oxygen species. Iron may also potentiate progression of NAFLD by altering insulin signaling and lipid metabolism. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of parenteral iron loading in an obese, diabetic murine model of NAFLD.

CONCLUSIONSPI administration causes a strong inflammatory responsePI administration leads to KC activation and phagocytosis of ironPI caused decreased steatosisPI induces oxidative stress and initiates fibrogenesisCombination of HFD and PI led to more inflammation, oxidative stress and
collagen production than either iron or HFD alone
