Morphological studies of liver parenchyma demonstrated reduction in structural deterioration of hepatic lobules and restoration of mitochondrial structural integrity in heat preconditioned rats. Present study suggests that heat preconditioning intervention plays a crucial role in protection against heat induced hepatic injury in animals.

This study intends to explore the role of Vaspin and cholesterol metabolism in the process of osteoarthritis (OA) and its mechanism in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, chondrocytes were treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β, 20ng/mL) in combination with Vaspin at different concentrations for 48h. The expressions of Aggrecan (ACAN), Collagen 2a1 (Col2a1), A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombo Spondin type 1 motifs 5 (ADAMTS 5), and Matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) were detected. In vivo, the expression of liver X receptor (LXRα) and other Cholesterol efflux related genes were detected in the rat OA knee cartilage-induced by papain. In vitro, in a concentration-dependent manner, Vaspin reversed the decreased expression of ACAN and Col2a1, and the increased expression of ADAMTS 5 and MMP13 caused by IL-1β. Besides, Vaspin promoted the expression of LXRα and other Cholesterol efflux related genes in a concentration-dependent manner in chondrocytes. However, miR155 mimics reversed the Vaspin-induced expression changes of cholesterol efflux pathway in chondrocytes. In vivo, the expression of LXRα and other Cholesterol efflux related genes were decreased in the rat
