BACKGROUND: Reye syndrome and acute fatty liver of pregnancy are characterized by acute hepatic failure associated with characteristic pathologic changes of hepatocytes, i.e., microvesicular fatty degeneration with severe mitochondrial swelling. Several animal models of these conditions have been proposed, although none has demonstrated sufficiently similar laboratory and pathologic features.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A single dose of 2,2'-azobis-(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride, a free radical initiator, 100 mg/kg of body weight, injected intraperitoneally to BALB/c mice induced a transient decrease in hepatic energy charge, liver mitochondrial respiratory activity, and succinate dehydrogenase activity and a transient increase in blood ammonia level, suggesting hepatic failure.
RESULTS: The hepatocytes displayed microvesicular fatty degeneration with severely swollen mitochondria.
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first model of acute hepatic failure with microvesicular fatty degeneration of hepatocytes. It suggests a role of free radicals in the pathogenesis of certain types of acute hepatic failure.
