Popis: Fatty livers are considerably more susceptible to acute stressors, such as ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R). As the incidence of I/R is high due to surgical events and some pathologies, there is an urgent need to find strategies against I/R injury (I/RI) in fatty livers. We postulate that an acute pretreatment with indirubin-3'-oxime (Ind) or NADZucker fatty rats were subjected to warm ischaemia and 12 hours of reperfusion. Ind or NADPretreatment decreased markers of liver injury while preserving mitochondrial cytochrome c content, which is related to the prevention of calcium-induced mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT), the decline in mitochondrial respiratory state 3 and ATP content. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also diminished. Inhibition of GSK-3ß by Ind resulted in the prevention of cyclophilin-D (CypD) phosphorylation, unabling it to bind to the adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT), thus, preventing mPT induction. Furthermore, deacetylation of CypD at Lys residue by sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) caused its dissociation from ANT, contributing to an increase in mPT threshold in NADPretreatment with Ind or NAD
