Abstract

Aims: To investigate the effects of Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) on improving the prognosis of liver transplant recipients with steatotic liver grafts and regulating gut microbiota in rats. Methods: We obtained steatotic liver grafts and established a liver transplantation model. Recipients were divided into sham, liver transplantation and Fer-1 treatment groups, which were assessed 1and 7days after surgery (n=6). Results & conclusion: Fer-1 promotes recovery of the histological structure and function of steatotic liver grafts and the intestinal tract, and improves inflammatory responses of recipients following liver transplantation. Fer-1 reduces gut microbiota pathogenicity, andlowers iron absorption and improves fat metabolism of recipients, thereby protecting steatotic liver grafts.
