- W2090380198 abstract "Objective. Zinc supplementation has been shown to contribute to inhibition of liver fibrosis and improvement in hepatic encephalopathy. However, little is known about the anti-inflammatory effect of zinc on hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related chronic liver disease (CLD). We therefore examined the effects of zinc administration on inflammatory activity and fibrosis in the liver of patients with HCV-related CLD. Material and methods. Polaprezinc, a complex of zinc and l-carnosine, was administrated at 225 mg/day for 6 months to 14 patients with HCV-related CLD, in addition to their ongoing prescriptions. Peripheral blood cell counts, liver-related biochemical parameters, serological markers for liver fibrosis, HCV-RNA loads, and serum levels of zinc and ferritin were evaluated before and after zinc administration. Results. Serum zinc concentrations were positively correlated with hepatic reserve before zinc supplementation. A significant increase in serum zinc level was observed after zinc supplementation (64±15 versus 78±26 mg/dl, p=0.0156). Treatment with polaprezinc significantly decreased serum aminotransferase levels (aspartate aminotransferase (AST): 92±33 versus 63±23 IU/l, p=0.0004; alanine aminotransferase (ALT): 106±43 versus 65±32 IU/l, p=0.0002), whereas alkaline phosphatase levels were significantly increased (305±117 versus 337±118 U/l, p=0.0020). Serum ferritin levels were significantly decreased by treatment with polaprezinc (158±141 versus 101±80 ng/ml, p=0.0117). The reduction rate of ALT levels by polaprezinc was positively correlated with that of ferritin (r2=0.536, p=0.0389). There was a tendency toward a decrease in serum type IV collagen 7S levels after treatment with polaprezinc. However, administration of polaprezinc did not affect peripheral blood cell counts, other liver function tests, or HCV-RNA loads. Conclusions. These findings suggest that polaprezinc exerts an anti-inflammatory effect on the liver in patients with HCV-related CLD by reducing iron overload." @default.
