Pulmonary Fibrosis with Increasing of Interleukin-6 in Sprague Dawley Rats with Metabolic Syndrome
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Pulmonary fibrosis is the result of chronic inflammation causing decreased lung function. Severe lung damage and worsening respiratory symptoms can caused by metabolic syndrome. In metabolic syndrome, obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin occurs, also chronic inflammation and increased interleukin-6. Research on rats with high-fat high-fructose diet caused metabolic syndrome that triggered chronic inflammatory formed pulmonary fibrosis, which decreased lung function. The study result aim to increase awareness of pulmonary fibrosis due to chronic inflammation in metabolic syndrome.
Methods: The study design was true experimental in vivo test, pre and post test control group, with male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 37 weeks. Comparing each of 10 in control and metabolic syndrome groups. Metabolic syndrome expressed by increase of weight, triglycerides, blood sugar, and low HDL. Pulmonary tissue fibrosis assessed with modified Aschroft score. Examination of plasma and tissue Interleukin-6 by ELISA, and the degree of tissue fibrosis by HE staining under a microscope. Different test with independent T-test and Mann-Whitney methods.
Results: There were significant differences in plasma and tissue Interleukin-6 and degree of lung tissue fibrosis between control and metabolic syndrome groups with each p<0.05. There is an increase of plasma Interleukin-6, tissue Interleukin-6, and also degree of lung tissue fibrosis on metabolic syndrom group than control group.
Conclusion: There is an increase in the degree of pulmonary tissue fibrosis accompanied by an increase in plasma and tissue IL-6 in rats with metabolic syndrome.
