Abstract
There are a limited number of appropriate cadaver liver donors. One possible solution is the use of marginal liver grafts from cadaver donors for liver transplantation. Rats with liver steatosis were divided into four containing seven animals each: I-a: steatotic liver grafts; +S-adenosylmethionine; I-b: steatotic liver grafts were transplanted; no S-adenosylmethionine; II-a: normal liver grafts, +S-adenosylmethionine; II-b: normal liver grafts. Blood samples were taken at days -1, 3 and 14. ALT values at day 14: 1.75 ± 1.10µkat/L (in group I-a), 1.91 ± 1.41µkat/L (in group I-b), 2.13±1.85µkat/L (in group II-a) and 2.08 ± 1.35µkat/L (in group II-b). There were no significant differences between these values. GSH values at day 14 post-transplantation were: 44.90 ± 8.61µM/mg (in group I-a), 43.82±8.58µM/mg (in group I-b), 41.65 ± 4.87µM/mg (in group II-a) and 42.71 ± 4.17µM/mg (in control group II-b). Our study did not demonstrate the positive effect of S-adenosylmethionine on ischaemia-reperfusion injury during liver transplantation in rats.
