Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a worldwide phenomenon spanning all the conti-nents. The pathogenesis of NAFLD has not been completely elucidated. One hypothesis is that hepatic cyto-chrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) plays an important role in increasing the lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress in NAFLD. Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine hepatic CYP2E1 activity in patients with NAFLD. Material and Method: Healthy subjects were included. After an overnight fasting, the subjects were orally administered 400 mg chlorzoxazone (CHZ) and serial blood samples were collected at 0 (predose), 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6 and 8 hours after dosing. For patients with NAFLD, plasma samples were collected at 0 (predose), 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 hours after dosing. Plasma CHZ and 6-hydroxychlorzoxazone (6-OH-CHZ) was assayed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detector. Hepatic CYP2E1 activity was calculated by using concentration ratio of 6-OH-CHZ / CHZ. Results: High concentration levels of CHZ and 6-OH-CHZ in healthy subjects were found between 1.5 to 3 hours after the dose. At 1.5 to 3 hours, the concentration ratio of 6-OH-CHZ /CHZ of patients with NAFLD seemed to be more than of healthy subjects. The time point which showed most different was 2.5 hours. (0.40 + 0.27 vs. 0.25 + 0.12 μg/ml, respectively, p = 0.10). Conclusion: Although significant difference of the concentration ratio of 6-OH-CHZ / CHZ between the two groups was not exhibited, the data demonstrated the possibility of the increasing hepatic CYP2E1 activity in NAFLD. The concentration ratio of 6-OH-CHZ / CHZ at the point 2.5 hours may be the best index for measuring hepatic CYP2E1 activity in NAFLD.
