The aim of the work was the study of the level of Hgf gene mRNA expression in the liver of rats with glutamate-induced steatohepatosis and under the action of the multiprobiotic “Symbiter acidophilic” concentrated (multiprobiotic) and nanocrystalline cerium dioxide (NCD). Material and methods. The experiments were performed on 4 groups of white nonlinear male rats. Rats of the first group served as controls. Animals of the other three groups were injected subcutaneously with sodium L-glutamate (4 mg/kg) for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days. From 1 month of age and for the next three months, rats of the third and fourth groups (after neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate) were periodically orally administered respectively multiprobiotic (0.14 ml/kg) and NDC (1 mg/kg) according to the scheme: 2 weeks of administration, 2 weeks break. In the rats liver of 4 month old we determined the level of expression of mRNA gene Hgf. Results. The level of expression of mRNA gene Hgf in the group of glutamate-induced obese animals was 4.2 times (p<0.001) higher compared to intact rats. In rats after neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate, which was periodically administered the multiprobiotic, this figure returned to control values. In rats after neonatal administration of monosodium glutamate, which were periodically injected with NCD, this figure was 2.8 times (p<0.001) lower than in control animals. Conclusion. Multiprobiotic and NCD significantly reduced the expression of Hgf mRNA expression in rat liver after administration of sodium glutamate in the early neonatal period, indicating a reduction in inflammation and liver fibrosis.
