Effects of fecal microbiota transplantation on liver function and blood ammonia in hepatic encephalopathy rats
To establish a rat model of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
investigate the effects of FMT on liver function and blood ammonia in order to explore the clinical significance of FMT.
Methods
2
Totally 32 rats were divided into 4 groups with 8 animals in each group
that is
normal control group
HE group
probiotics group
and FMT group. The SD rats model of HE was established through CCL
4
+ alcohol injection
and the intestinal pipe was buried. The rats of the probiotics group were given probiotics transplantation (200 μL/d
containing probiotics of 2.7×10
9
)
and those of the FMT group were given FMT (200 μL/d
containing fecal microbiota of 2.7×10
9
). After 2 weeks' treatment
the survival
defecation
and body weight
liver function (ALT
AST
ALB
TB and DB) and blood ammonia of portal vein and caudal vein before and after transplantation were recorded and compared.
Results
2
No death was observed in all experimental rats. When compared with the indexes before transplantation
FMT resulted in obvious increase in the body weight (266.83±33.40
vs
225.18±14.81 g
P
<
0.05)
significantly improved liver function (FMT group
vs
HE group
ALT: 610.49±4.98
vs
990.07±4.80 U/L
P
<
0.05; AST: 72.46±4.42
vs
101.58±2.19 U/L
P
<
0.05; ALB: 24.48±0.12
vs
17.53± 0.53 g/L
P
<
0.05; TB: 13.45±0.77
vs
27.20±0.77 μmol/L
P
<
0.05; DB: 10.04±0.09
vs
16.04±0.51 μmol/L
P
<
0.05). The ammonia contents in the portal and tail venous blood were significantly decreased in the rats after than b
efore FMT treatment (26.26±0.30 and 23.10±0.35 μmol/L respectively in the portal and tail venous blood in the FMT group
and 36.28±1.32 and 32.90±0.35 μmol/L in the HE group
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Human fecal bacteria transplantation is feasible in rats. FMT treatment can improve liver function and reduce the blood ammonia in HE rats.
