Abstract: AIM: To establish a relatively simple but reliable rat model of liver fibrosis.Methods: A mixture composed of ethanol (60%)、lard (5 g·kg-1) and cholesterol(1 g·kg-1) was supplied in a concentration of 15 ml·kg-1·d-1 for one month.Animals are concurrently supplied a normal diet.Results: Biochemical analysis and polarization microscopy combined with image analysis liver sections stained with F3B Sirius red revealed that the whole collagen quantity and type Ⅰ collagen in mixturetreated rat livers were increased very significantly than those of control group.Tissue pathological assay revealed middle to heavy degree cellular swelling and obvious sinus hepaticus hyperaemia in liver.Real time PCR assay showed that type Ⅳ collagen gene expression in model rat liver was very significantly elevated than that of normal rat.The triglyceride contents of liver and blood in model rats were significantly elevated than those of normal control rats.Conclusion: The model provides a convenient method for the production of liver fibrosis and hyperlipemia, and it may be useful for the study of the medicines treating hepatic fibrosis adiposis-hepatca and hyperlipemia.

Key words: hepatic fibrosis, adiposis-hepatica, hyperlipemia, alcohol, collagen
